Unlike hybrid or genetically modified (GMO) seeds, heirloom varieties naturally reproduce true-to-type, meaning the plants grown will be the same as their parent plants when seeds are saved and replanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO seeds are seeds that have not been genetically modified in a laboratory using biotechnology techniques like gene splicing or genetic engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, they are developed through natural pollination methods (open-pollinated or hybridization) without altering their DNA at the molecular level.
