Available in 50 varieties, the package contains a total of 9,500 seeds with an expected germination rate of 85%+. Heirlooms, while varying in meaning, simply refers to seeds that have been repeatedly harvested from their predecessors over several generations. These are considered special in respect to the proliferation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and hybrid seeds that are currently grown commercially. For centuries, food growers have been trying to create the most genetically correct seeds to get produce that is resistant to diseases, pests and give high yields. As a result, much of the produce found on supermarket shelves are either grown from seeds genetically modified in a lab or from hybrid seeds. Hybrids are seeds developed by cross-pollinating two stable plants, thus creating a new plant with desirable features such as color, flavour, resistance, yield etc. While GMOs and hybrids often result in higher yields and plants which are more resistant to diseases, there are several trade offs which may be real or perceived. With genetically modified plants, the taste might be altered and they might not store well. Also, they have not been tested enough overtime to determine if there would be detrimental effects on humans based on their biological makeup and many people distrust them for this reason. Hybrids, on the other hand, often cannot be reproduced identically from parent plants. This means that if one plants a seed harvested from a hybrid plant, the resulting plant will be markedly different from its predecessor. With these things in mind, companies…
