Abstract

Ketergantungan masyarakat terhadap beras sebagai bahan pokok yangsangat tinggi menyebabkan swasembada pangan akhir-akhir ini sulit dicapai. Oleh karenanya upaya diversifikasi bahan pangan perlu terus digalakkan. Tacca leontopetaloides (L) O. K. dipilih sebagai salah satu jenistanaman untuk penelitian diversifikasi bahan pangan pokok. Penelitian etnobotani tumbuhan Tacca leontopetaloides dilakukan di Pulau Madura dan sekitarnya dengan metode wawancara open-ended, observasi di lapangan, dan purposive sampling. Tumbuhan Tacca leontopetaloides ternyata masih belum banyak dikenal oleh masyarakat di Jawa Timur, demikian juga pemanfaatannya. Tumbuhan ini memiliki nama daerah yang berbeda di setiap lokasi penelitian, seperti di Madura dikenal dengan "Lorkong" dan "Oto'o", sedang di Jawa dikenal dengan "Kecondang". Masyarakat Sumenep telah memanfaatkan umbinya untuk pati atau tepung melalui proses tertentu. Pati tersebut digunakan sebagai bahan dasar untuk produk kudapan atau snack, misalnya: bubur, kue "Serpot", sebagai pengganti tepung terigu. Daunnya juga dimanfaatkan sebagai pakan ternak. Di lokasi penelitian, jenis Tacca ini pada umumnya masih banyak tumbuh liar, namun di desa Langsar, Saronggi tumbuhan ini sudah dibudidayakan. kataLately, the highly dependence ofthe community on rice as staple food has caused difficulty in achieving food self-sufficiency. Therefore, diversificationof foodstuffsshould be encouraged. Taccaleontopetaloides(L.)
