What is seed orthodox? ?

Seed orthodox refers to seeds that have been produced through traditional, natural methods without any genetic modification or manipulation. These seeds are considered to be pure and true to their original genetic makeup, making them ideal for organic farming and preserving biodiversity. Seed orthodox is often used in reference to heirloom or open-pollinated varieties of seeds.

Seed orthodox refers to seeds that can withstand desiccation (drying out) and maintain their viability for long periods of time. They typically have low moisture content and a thick seed coat that helps to protect the embryo from damage. Orthodox seeds can be stored for years in dry conditions without losing their ability to germinate.

Examples of orthodox seeds include:

- Beans
- Peas
- Corn
- Wheat
- Rice

These seeds are well-suited for long-term storage and can be used for planting crops even after several years.
