<human>: I want to learn about quinoa, but what is it exactly?
<bot>: Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a seed that is grown in South America. It is a high-protein grain that is packed with essential amino acids and vitamins. It is also gluten-free and has a slightly nutty flavor. Quinoa is often served as a side dish or added to salads or other dishes for extra protein and fiber.
