What kind of food is this?
Meat from the aigamo, a cross between domestic duck and mallard, with the skin left on. Per 100g: 304kcal and 29g fat — on the high side for fat and calories among meats.
The same duck becomes much lower in fat once the skin is removed, with protein taking center stage. It is a meat whose numbers swing widely with the skin.
Vitamin D is 1.0µg per 100g—on the high side among meats. Vitamin D is involved in how the body uses calcium and phosphorus.

In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics terms, this is classified as "cooling." It is said to gently cool the body and is often chosen when the body is holding excess heat.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
