Can garlic be eaten when it has teeth?

Garlic has become a very common food now. Many people put garlic in their cooking, especially when they stew meat or eat jiaozi, because garlic can kill bacteria and prevent cancer, and many dishes will smell much better after adding garlic. However, if the garlic bought at home is left for a long time, you will find some sprouting. Can the sprouted garlic still be eaten? Is it harmful to our health?

germinated garlic is edible, but be careful when it turns black, yellow and moldy!

garlic turns black, which means that some substances in garlic have begun to turn into toxic substances. If you eat this black garlic, it will not only taste a little bitter, but also be bad for your health, and there may be poisoning. Therefore, if you find garlic turning black at home, you should throw it away in time, and don't continue to eat it because it is a pity.

The yellowing of garlic is actually below the degree of blackening. Many garlic turns black after yellowing, so when garlic turns yellow, it only means that some toxic substances in garlic are slowly emerging, and garlic is not edible at this time.

moldy garlic is even more inedible. Not only is garlic moldy, but basically all moldy food is inedible, because moldy food will turn into mold, which will do great harm to the body after eating, and the body is likely to be poisoned by mold. Therefore, if you find moldy food at home, you should throw it away as soon as possible. Some moldy food will also corrode other foods that are not moldy, so throwing away moldy food as soon as possible is the best choice.

When buying garlic at home, you can follow the principle of moderation. You can only buy garlic for one month at most. Garlic will germinate easily if you buy too much. Although many garlic can be eaten when it just germinates, there are also some foods that can't be eaten as long as it germinates. For example, potatoes can't be eaten after germination, and the substances inside the potatoes will be transformed into toxic substances after germination. Many people are poisoned because of eating germinated potatoes.
