What kind of food is this?
Tiny shrimp dried whole, shells and all. Calcium is exceptionally high at 2000mg per 100g — near the top among the seafood in our database.
Vitamin E is 7.2mg, the highest of our seafood entries, and protein is 64.9g. Phosphorus and sodium are both 1200mg.
Because the shells are eaten too, it supplies calcium that is hard to get from shelled seafood alone. With the water removed, even small amounts are concentrated.

In food-energetics terms
In traditional food energetics it is classified as "warming" — said to gently warm the body and often chosen in the colder seasons.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
