The Jangkang Dayak tribe still maintains customs and traditions in utilizing forest resources to meet food needs, one of which is the use of local fruits. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of local fruit by the tribe of the Jangkang Dayak as a food source. The research method used is the survey method. The selection of key informants and recommendations uses a snowball sampling technique, namely the technique of selecting informants from the recommendations of previously selected informants. The resource persons in this study consisted of village heads, traditional leaders and community leaders. The instruments used are semi-structured interview sheets and participatory observation sheets. The data collection procedure was carried out by visiting the informants who were the targets in this study. Descriptive qualitative data analysis consisted of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of the study found 23 types of local fruit plants from 17 families used by the community of the Jangkang Dayak as a food source. The recommendation from this research is to maintain and maintain the diversity of local fruit plants which are a source of food for the community and to be documented in writing, so that they can be studied and inherited in a sustainable manner.
