Garlic powder with BBE of 2016 has turned into a solid brown block that smells strongly of garlic.

Is it safe to eat?

Will it still ward off vampires?

Had it not been for the smell, I might have fooled someone into thinking this was caramel or chocolate. What a prank that would have been

@bornach (entire) garlic steamed and fermented for weeks becomes black garlic, sweet and tasting like prunes. maybe you've made powdered black garlic.... (would not eat though)

Oh I've heard of this process to make black garlic

I very much doubt that's what this is.

blogmywiki,

@bornach Spookily I just threw out some garlic powder that expired in Dec 2023! I'd bin it...

I'm still using pre-Brexit garlic powder here. Definitely not as strong (and not sure it'd ward off Tories), but fine otherwise...

How about for deterring slugs? Or maybe just compost?
