open pollinated seeds
Open-pollinated varieties are traditional; they are grown and selected according to perennial values. They grow without high inputs because they have been selected under organic conditions.
These varieties give better flavour and they are stronger through the years than hybrid varieties. Breeders can not manipulate complex characteristics such as flavour and nutrition as easily as they can size and shape.
These seeds are dynamic which means that they mutate and adapt to the local ecosystem, as opposed to modern hybrids, which are static.
