What kind of food is this?
Boiled black soybeans. Per 100g: 155kcal, 14.7g protein, 7.9g 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.
What sets black soybeans apart is soy-derived protein, fat, and fiber plus the plant pigment of the black skin.
Per 100g: 33.9g protein, 20.6g fiber, 1800mg potassium, 6.8mg iron.
These are the numbers before the beans absorb water, so nutrient density differs greatly from boiled black soybeans at the same 100g. Treat the dried figures as numbers for measuring before cooking.
How to serve
boiled — Use beans boiled soft without seasoning, not sweetened simmered beans.
dried — Do not use raw beans; boil them until soft before serving.

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.)
