It's never happened to me, you've either left it too long and it's gone mouldy, or there's a green shoot in the centre you've not noticed. or you've used a dirty knife.

Wow. I have never seen this happen. What did you use to chop it?
Anyone out there have an answer? I'm curious too!
Just looked on Internet and discovered there is a type of garlic that is naturally green. Maybe you were using this type without realizing it.
I agree with Lene H
Are you talking about the tiny piece of green in the heart of the clove/bud?

Sometimes the heart is still green. If you don't remove it, you'll have little green pieces in your chopped garlic.

I've never seen that happen either.
Do you have a lot of copper in your water?
Or are you talking about the garlic that's sprouted?

What are you doing with it after you chop it? It could be a reaction to the container you put it in.
