Safe to eat? #882967

Asked August 26, 2024, 8:59 AM EDT

I grew trombocini squash from seeds I saved last year. Some fruit is obviously hybridized. Is it safe to eat?

Expert Response

Yes it is safe to eat. You won't know exactly what it will taste like and what it crossed with though, but totally safe.
