Can Acorn Squash Be Too Ripe?
Yes, acorn squash can be too ripe. When acorn squash is overripe, it will have a soft texture and may not taste as good as it would if it were harvested when it was fully matured. Overripe acorn squash may also have internal blemishes or mold growth. It is best to harvest acorn squash when it is fully matured and has a hard skin, but before it becomes overripe.
