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