I recently got some yellow squash from a friend who has a garden. It is very large, very yellow, almost orange and has bumps on it. Doesn’t seem small slick and yellow like the sore bought, seems like it is over mature. Will it still cook the same. I love making fried squash and baked squash casserole…just wondering if this squash will taste good if it is over mature?
please help settle this..some say it will taste better others say it will not.
It is over-ripe. You can still fry it but it will not taste as good or have the same tender taste. I pick our squash when it is still small to medium & has the slick feel to it. The young squash is a lot more tender. If you have large over-ripe squash then you may want to remove the seeds instead of just slicing it like you would if it was smaller. If it is too tough to peel then you may want to just toss it.
Think you will find it will taste a whole lot better!! It’s not over ripe if it has not got brown on the bottom!!Do your baked squash casserole & open your taste buds up,for a taste sensation,no chemicals!!
Enjoy to the max!!Cannot beat fresh from the garden!!

it will have it’s own flavor and more than likely better. .
like squash found in the store a small to medium size will better fit today’s recipes
Squash perfect for container gardening.
