Q.Pumpkin
Can I eat a green pumpkin that was opened by mistake? Is it safe? Will it ripen out of the refrigerator?

I don't think it would necessarily hurt to eat the green pumpkin, though I doubt it would be very tasty. Most likely it will be quite bitter. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/pumpkin/getting-green-pumpkins-to-turn-orange-after-the-pumpkin-vine-dies.htm
