Buttercup squash typically does not ripen well once it has been picked early. Unlike some fruits, squash will not continue to develop its sweetness or flavor after being harvested. It's best to wait until the squash reaches its full size and the skin hardens before picking to ensure optimal taste and texture. If picked too early, it may remain immature and less palatable.
