Sorry about the lack of updating, I've been swamped.

The other night I made some garlic bread. Instead of using butter, I decided to drizzle olive oil on the baguette. I then crushed a few cloves of garlic and spread on the bread and then added a little bit of salt. I placed the bread in the toaster oven and twenty minutes later when I went to take a look at the garlic bread, I was shocked. The garlic turned green! This has never happened in all my years of cooking. The cloves looked good when I crushed it so I can't understand what could have happened. Have you ever heard of anything like this?
I'm pretty sure it was the olive oil that turned the garlic green. I have seen it turn onion green so yeah. I think that's what happened.
Any other opinions about the issue?

i dont think it's the olive oil. it turns green on butter too. it's the garlic that reacts with something acidic, causing it to turn green. i am now trying to find a way to prevent that too.
Hi,this has just happened to me also? I just made some cheese on toast,crushed some garlic on top? Bingo came out bright green! The garlics from China? Bloody hell I thought radioactive.Thanks for that.
I think the garlic is a bit old. It happened to me too, but I just fed that piece of the bread to my girlfriend.
It happened to me too!!! It happened with squash that I put olive oil and s+p, grated garlic and it came out bright green. This was the second time it happened to me, the first was with garlic bread with butter, the garlic was pretty fresh, not sure why it happens.

Dont eat green garlic, s itsimple as that!
For a joke, I was doing renovations to my kitchen so I hid a dirty big pot in the oven and forgot it there for about 4 days...opened the oven and a very gross aroma seeped out under my sensitive nove EKKKKKKKKKKKK
A couple days later I made garlic bread...and garlic came out green...grossssssssssss againnnn...there was mold in my oven!!!...If you have green garlic, CLEAN YOUR STOVE!!!
The greening of garlic is caused due to enzymic reaction in the cells, it can be seasonal, changes from field to field.Can be dependant on storeage conditions.
It has no detrimental effect on the safety or taste of the final product, it is purely asthetic
