Keywords:
Chili peppers, Jirak, Shredded chiliAbstract
The income of the people in Jirak Village is generally obtained from farming. People plant various types of plants, one of which is cayenne pepper. The people of Jirak Village now cultivate a lot of chilies because the type of soil in this village is suitable for growing chilies. The chili harvest is directly sold to middlemen in fresh condition. The problem is that when the harvest is abundant, the price of chilies decreases. Public interest in consuming fresh cayenne pepper is still low, this is one of the reasons why chili prices have decreased. Apart from that, chilies have a high water content which results in rapid post-harvest damage and rot. So post-harvest treatment is needed so that it can be stored for a long time by making a product. This PKM activity aims to increase the skills and knowledge of partners in processing cayenne pepper in various types of products, one of which is shredded chili and peanut brittle. So far, the people of Jirak village have never processed chilies into shredded chilies and chili rempeyek. With this training, Jirak village farmers can provide new innovations to start making processed products from chilies. Shredded chili and peanut brittle are packaged in packaging that has been attractively designed and can protect the product so that it lasts a long time. This product can be used as a business opportunity product with economic value for partners, so it can increase daily income.References
