A hybrid vegetable is created when plant breeders intentionally cross-pollinate two different varieties of a plant, aiming to produce an offspring or hybrid, that contains the best traits of each of the parent plants. Cross-pollination is a natural process that occurs with members of the same plant species. In hybridization, pollination is carefully controlled to ensure that the right plants are crossed to achieve the desired combination of characteristics such as: Dependability, less required care, early maturity, higher yields, improved flavor, specific plant size, and better disease resistance. The offspring of a hybridized seed will not produce genetically identical seeds to their parents and are not recommended for seed saving. It is important to note that hybrids are not genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and do not present any environmental or health risks.
