The five students are Presticia Rosa Indri Wardani, Diyah Ayu Safitri, Yuni Basuki, and Sumini from the Faculty of Agriculture, and Afifah Puji Hastuti from Faculty of Technology Agriculture.
Presticia said the idea to create the Avos-Pizza came from the fact that Indonesia still imports flour and the amount of imported flour continues to rise each year. They became concerned about this situation because Indonesia is actually rich in raw materials that can be used to make flour.
"We chose avocado seeds as a substitute for wheat flour because they are high in starch, water, and minerals," Presticia told Tempo.
The students produced their own avocado seed flour using a simple process that takes approximately a week. The process of turning the flour into pizza can take up to 6 to 7 hours. In order to help the avocado flour rise in order to make the pizza they still need to use a small amount of wheat flour.
Afifah added that Avos-Pizza is the first innovative pizza in Indonesia that is made from avocado seeds. They claim the pizza is healthier because it can reduce the impact of obesity and diabetes. Afifah and her friends also use low calorie sugar in the Avos-Pizza.
For the meantime, the Avos-Pizza can be enjoyed with two types of toppings including mixed vegetable and mixed chicken. The cost of the Avos Pizza is Rp5,000 per box with each box containing two medium sized pizzas.
The students were able to execute their idea for the Avos-Pizza after receiving funding from the Higher Education Directorate General through the Student Business Creativity Program (PKM-K)
