What kind of food is this?
Immature soybeans, boiled. Per 100g they have 11.5g of protein and 6.1g of fat—both especially high for a vegetable.
Phosphorus is 170mg and magnesium 72mg, also especially high among vegetables; the nutritional makeup is quite different from leafy greens or root vegetables.
Magnesium is a mineral involved in many enzyme reactions, from energy metabolism to muscle and nerve function.
Iron is 2.5mg and zinc 1.3mg, both on the high side among vegetables. Iron is involved in how red blood cells carry oxygen, and zinc in skin and coat and many enzyme reactions.
How to serve
Remove the pods and use only beans boiled without salt.

In food-energetics terms
