pickled garlic Why did it turn aquamarine?

[Guest guest]

I have been sticking raw garlic cloves in regular cider vinegar for years and all was well. THIS time I decided to use the Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Undiluted and of course had to add a wee bit of Habanero pepper ( very small piece). These were all placed in a clean glass canning jar as per usual and left on the kitchen counter. After 2 days my garlic cloves have this eerie bluegreen color !!!! Have any of you ever seen this? Are they safe to eat? It smells OK and i did eat One bulb and it tasted OK, but this odd coloring is really freaking me out, and Im afraid to touch another piece unless someone can put my mind at ease.

 

Thanks

That is odd. Was the lid made of brass or copper? (If it was, do not eat the garliuc)

If you used a brass, pot metal, or silver spoon, this would cause this and you should not use this tincture.

 

In the case of Silver, it will not put the silver into colloid form (a safe form), and will contribute to bring about a silver / grey color to the skin if you take too much of it.

 

Throw it away and chock it up to experience. ;-)

 

Much love,
