Recently in one of my CSA baskets, I received one head of garlic.
I panicked when within a day, the garlic started to turn purple, so I hit the Internet to see if it was safe to eat.
No worries - the garlic was turning purple due to an acid reaction. While not a pleasant sight, it was safe to eat and upon cooking with it, I did not notice anything odd.
So why did this happen?
Simple, the garlic was harvested before it had reached full maturity and wasn't properly dried. While there is nothing I could have done to prevent this, hopefully my farmer will practice a little patience next time.
Lesson noted,
The Hoff
