What kind of food is this?
Boiled lentils. Per 100g: 149kcal, 11.2g protein, 4.3mg iron, 9.4g fiber.
Dried lentils have not yet absorbed water, so the same 100g is far more concentrated, with 9mg of iron and 16.7g of fiber.
High in iron even among legumes, they are a plant protein source distinct from meat.
How to serve
Boil them until soft before use.

In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics terms, this is classified as "neutral" — it 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.)
