01 / THE DEFINITION

What it means.

Landrace is an origin and history claim. It usually describes a population adapted over generations to a region, rather than a recently named commercial cross.

The word is often used loosely in marketing. A careful listing should say where the material came from and what preservation or later breeding work has happened since collection.

READ THE LABEL

Look for provenance: region, collection history and any subsequent selection.

WHAT ELSE CAN IT BE?

Can be sold as regular seed; later breeding can produce other formats.
