Can you eat green pumpkins?

Question

We saved some seeds from last year’s large orange pumpkin after carving for the children. They have grown well in the allotment but the pumpkins are green — are they edible ?

Answer 1

The light green pumpkins that still had soft skin could be eaten just like any other squash. The dark green pumpkins with hard skins were fully mature and would turn orange if they got enough sun. … Add the cut up green pumpkin and spices. Cook stirring frequently until pumpkin is tender.
