Can you eat squash that has grown with bumps all over it?

Question

Our summer squash has bumps all over it and I would like to know if there is something wrong with or can we still eat it.

Answer 1

It is still edible as long as it looks healthy. There are a few causes, one of which is the mosaic virus which is not curable. To avoid this problem in the future, you may want to plant mosaic virus resistant cultivars and be vigilant with aphids.
