<human>: I want to learn about quinoa, but what is it exactly?
<bot>: Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a grain that is grown in the Andes Mountains of South America. It is a member of the goosefoot family and is closely related to spinach. It is a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
