Having pulled and dried my garlic, I notice that it has grown so well

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!)

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

That is a seriously dangerous criterion; many other plants share
that property.

However, they are Allium, and all parts of all of the ones I know
of are edible, though some of the decorative ones may not be.
I would have no hesitation using them, either.
