Expert Compares Different Types of Seeds and Declares Heirloom Seeds as the Best Choice
Incline Village, NV, November 27, 2014 --(PR.com)-- A seed expert from Home And Garden America (HAGA) recently compared the three most popular types of garden seeds during a radio interview last Monday, November 17.
"There are GMO seeds, hybrid seeds, and heirloom seeds. Having these many choices can easily confuse a home gardener, but there is one seed type that clearly stands out from the rest," the seed expert stated.
According to the expert, GMO seeds are considered the worst possible choice out of the three. These seeds go through several genetic modifications to become more tolerant of herbicides and pesticides—thus making them dangerous for consumption.
"GMO seeds do more harm than good to our health. Frequent consumption of genetically-engineered crops have been proven to cause serious side effects and illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and obesity. It's really scary to think that they're still in the market today. If you want to eat better and live longer, you'll definitely want to boycott these seeds at all costs," he continued.
"Now, on to hybrid seeds. These seeds are the result of various cross-pollinated plants which have been intentionally hybridized in order to attain the best qualities of both parent plants. It sounds good but instability can be a major issue for many hybrid seeds. Because they've been crossbred, the resulting plants are often inconsistent—they may or may not produce vegetables with the same features, and therefore it's useless to save the seeds for future use. You'll have to keep buying new seeds year after year. It's not the ideal option especially if you're into seed saving," the HAGA expert added.
"Finally, we have heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds have been around for ages, and the reason why they still exist today is simply because they work. They are the most practical choice especially if you want to grow an all-natural organic garden. Compared to other seed types, they have far more superior qualities because they're 100% organic, non-hybrid, non-GMO, and open-pollinated. This means they have the best of everything," he explained.
"Heirloom seeds have indeed proven the test of time that's why organic gardeners always prefer them. So if you want to grow the safest, healthiest and tastiest vegetables, start planting heirloom seeds today in your garden. It's the smartest gardening choice you'll ever make," the seed expert gave his final remarks.
