It was found that the nutritional value of 150 grams of Baegu leaves supplemented in the second formula of Hokkien noodles provides 600 calories, 1.76 g fat, 139.17 g carbohydrates, 9.84 g protein, 225.84 mg calcium, phosphorus. 336.56 mg, iron 3.77 mg, vitamin A 16.33 international units, vitamin B1 0.18 mg, vitamin B2 0.27 mg, vitamin Niacin 1.73 mg, and beta-carotene, 1,089 micrograms. The satisfaction study of the evaluators showed that the baking time at 6 hours was the best satisfaction level. This project can be used to develop, generate income or expand in business by spreading it to the people of Phuket as a unique food using locally sourced ingredients.
