naturally pollinated, nonhybrid

Heirloom plants contribute a diverse storehouse of genetic characteristics that is at once valuable to the individual gardener and to the global supply of available food crops. Commercial cultivars are primarily selected based on their ability to travel long distances without bruising or because all their fruits ripen at about the same time, which makes large scale harvests less costly. Heirloom varieties, however, have been perpetuated by gardeners (some of them for hundreds of years) because of their flavor, resistance to pests or disease, and for some, because of their unique color or shape. And because they are open-pollinated, the seeds can be saved with predictable results (compare with hybrids).
