This research aims to test osmosis of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L) and carrots (Daucus carota L) by soaking the two ingredients that have been peeled the skins with table salt (NaCl), where table salt (NaCl) as soluble material and water as the solvent. Meanwhile the comparison is water for soaking it is not added with salt. The research method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach, namely the presentation of data in the form of depictions of observations in the form of words. Data were collected by experiments and documentation. The focus of the research was on the texture and color of potatoes after being put into a glass filled with water only and a glass filled with water and salt to prove the process of osmosis.
