Abstract
The national resilience of a nation determines the strength of a country and covers all aspects of national life. One of the most important aspects is human resources. Humans’ physical conditions need to be guarded and maintained. One of the determinants of physical health is nutrition/food consumed. In a healthy body there is a strong immune system. Indonesia is known as a spice-producing country, and foreign nations came to Indonesia mainly because they wanted to buy abundant spices. Spices have been used by Indonesian people as seasonings to give taste and increase appetite in every dish. Cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, pepper, cumin, cinnamon are some of the most familiar spices which can be found in traditional Indonesian food. In addition, spices are also used as natural or herbal remedies. Not many realize that all these spices play a key role in making the nation healthy, which in turn increases national resilience. National resilience begins with the resilience of individuals, families, communities, regions and nations. This statement confirms that the strength of individual and family resilience is the forerunner to the formation of national resilience. The rise of instant culture, including instant food, is a challenge itself because the level of busyness makes some people take shortcuts and consume fast food. Many millennial generations do not know the types of spices and are not interested in knowing or learning about spices. Through this research, the knowledge, views and attitudes of the younger generation towards spices will be studied. The method used is through a literature study by examining the use of spices in various cuisines and their benefits for body health and their relevance to individual resilience as part of national resilience. The techniques used in this study were reading, recording, sorting data, processing questionnaires and interview results and drawing conclusions. The findings of this study indicate that the millennial generation’s interest in the existence of spices is still low, and various efforts are needed to foster interest and consumption of traditional Indonesian spice-rich foods and drinks.
