    In theory it would be the one with the most orange stripes vs green. However ripeness is sort of meaningless once they are uniformly yellow they are ready to pick and eat.

    since they will be cooked, they are all good to go

    It doesn’t really matter with delicata squash.

    I love that delicata squash is becoming more popular! Such an underrated squash

    Most delicatas I’ve had have had green stripes. I’d guess the orange ones are more ripe but also possibly less firm and not optimal flavor. I’d go green stripes
