Feed this food cooked.
What kind of food is this?
Boiled black soybeans. Per 100g: 155kcal, 14.7g protein, 7.9g fiber.
Dried black soybeans have not yet absorbed water, so the same 100g is far more concentrated, with 33.9g of protein and 20.6g of fiber.
The color of the black skin comes from anthocyanins, polyphenol pigments. Anthocyanins are studied for their role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by free radicals.
How to serve
Boil them until soft before use. Use unseasoned beans, not sweetened simmered beans.

In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics tradition it is classed as "neutral" — a food that neither warms nor cools the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
