Diabetes is a health concern that requires increased public awareness regarding the utilization of local foods, including spices with potential health benefits. This community service activity aimed to provide education on the utilization of spices as potential food ingredients and to introduce food processing and product development opportunities with economic value. The activity was conducted in RW 10, Manjahlega Village, Rancasari District, Bandung City, using education, socialization, discussion, and product demonstration methods. The materials covered the utilization of spices as household medicinal plants, the use of stevia as an alternative sweetener, and strategies for food product branding and marketing. Demonstrations included the preparation of herbal spice beverages and jewawut-spice cookies. The results showed active community participation through discussions, questions regarding processing and business opportunities, and enthusiasm during the demonstrations and product tasting sessions. The activity also produced examples of spice-based food products that demonstrated potential for food diversification and household-scale business development. Overall, this community service activity can serve as an initial step in encouraging the utilization of spices as potential food ingredients while supporting community empowerment through the development of innovative local food products.
