    Are you sure it's not black ie. burnt? 40 minutes seems a long time to put garlic - especially crushed - in the oven.

    This happened to me before, but I was adding garlic to quinoa at the time. It's still perfectly safe and doesn't affect the taste. It's a reaction between sulphur in the garlic and copper in whatever it's mixed with, I believe. There's some more rather technical information at the bottom of this page, just scroll down a bit.

    I just scraped it off and still ate it - real classy !! I thought it may have spoiled but am a lot wiser since reading your link. Thank you.
