Having pulled and dried my garlic, I notice that it has grown so well
that some of the bulbs have split as the cloves have expanded. The
cloves have turned green on the outside, instead of the purlish colour
they should be.

Are they OK to eat and will they store? (I'm pretty sure they are, but
SWMBO wants reassurance!)

Thanks

They are not in the potato family so I don't think it makes any
difference . I would have no hesitation using them.
