Are black peanuts genetically modified food? The truth explained in one article

Black peanuts are not genetically modified food. They are a peanut variety developed from hereditary variation in peanuts, through radiation followed by crossbreeding methods. Their traits are stable, and they can be used as seed year after year. Their nutritional value is high, and they are rich in selenium, calcium, iron, zinc and other elements, among which selenium and anthocyanins can prevent skin aging and prevent cholesterol, and eating them regularly has a great effect on restoring mental energy.

How are black peanuts produced by crossbreeding?

Black peanuts are produced in sequence through interspecific hybridization of peanuts a, selection and backcrossing of peanuts with black seed coats b, selection of peanut plant tissue with black seed coat traits for tissue culture to breed seedlings c, cultivation of tissue-cultured plants to obtain peanut seeds and planting black-skinned peanut seeds to expand the breeding stock e. The beneficial effect of the method of the present invention is that through the breeding process of black-skinned peanuts from a to e, a peanut variety with stable black seed coat hereditary traits can be obtained. The method of the present invention is suitable for breeding peanut varieties with a set seed coat color.

The above is the relevant introduction on whether black peanuts are genetically modified food, and we hope it is helpful to everyone.
