I've recently discovered butternut squash and I'd like to grow my own. The squash I've gotten from the grocery store seems to have viable seeds inside. They're nice and white and firm. I broke one open and found it to have a seed in it; it wasn't hollow. I've never grown butternut squash so I really have no idea how the seeds should look when ripe and viable. Do you think these seeds would grow some squash? I'd really like to grow these myself rather than paying $3 a piece for the vegetable. I've discovered that I like them roasted with potatoes and sweet potatoes.
