cucumbers

Question

Our pickling gherkin cucumbers have grown large and become yellow. Can you still safely eat them in salads?

Answer 1

Yes, they are just well over-mature. They are meant to be picked very young, and small. This will affect the flavor quite a bit, but they are definitely edible.
