What kind of food is this?
The familiar herb of Italian cooking. Per 100g: 1.91mg manganese, 69mg magnesium, 240mg calcium, 520µg vitamin A, and 3.5mg vitamin E.
Vitamin A supports vision and the health of skin and mucous membranes; vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidation.
Not a vegetable to use in quantity, but beyond aroma and color, it lets you rotate in a leaf that stays nutritionally dense even in small amounts.

In food-energetics terms
In food therapy, this is classified as 'warming.' It is said to gently warm the body and is often chosen in seasons when chill is a concern.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
