Introduction
These days, cases of heart disease, obesity, and malnutrition are on the

rise, leading to the invention of many nutritious foods aimed at providing

sufficient nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.

As of today, many young people prefer food products with high salt

content and artificial ingredients that are harmful to health. Most

individuals, especially young adolescents, favor this type of food because

it’s tasty and affordable. We propose a healthier version of french fries.

With this idea, we aim to capture the interest of young adolescents and

others with our Pumpkin Fries and Moringa.Pumpkin fries and moringa are

not only rich in calories but also in essential vitamins A, B, and C.

Pumpkin, or Cucurbita moschata, is a tropical plant with vines and belongs

to the cucurbitaceae family. Moringa is a good source of nutrients and

antioxidants. Moringa leaves are rich in nutrients such as vitamin A, B,

and C. Doctors highly recommend moringa for pregnant women and

children. Moringa also protects and nourishes hair and skin, supports liver

health, aids digestion, and fights foodborne and bacterial infections.

We aim to promote a healthy and convenient way of eating with

Pumpkin Fries and Moringa, offering a nutritious content that can help

individuals improve their nutritional health.

These days, cases of heart disease, obesity, and malnutrition are on the

rise, leading to the invention of many nutritious foods aimed at providing
