Answer: Use them. Cook them.
When ivy gourds ripen they become red on the outside & on the inside. The more they ripen they become more red. They become slightly tangy sometimes, yet they're good to be used.
Little red - just started ripening - use it.
More red - ripened - use it.
Very soft, mushy - overripe - are slimy too - use it to make gojju (a mashed side) or discard if you can't chop them/don't wanna make gojju.
P.S: They may be soft, so cook faster & easily than raw ones.
