Advice requested re. garlic [View all]

I'm making pesto by hand.

The garlic I want to use is the cache my SIL gave me. (Homegrown in her garden)

The garlic is fragrant.

But the cloves are uniformly but partially discolored. Ivory and cafe-au-lait.

Should I throw them away and use other garlic that's entirely ivory?

With ignorance, I'm considering that maybe the discolored part will be bitter and will ruin the pesto.

Your thoughts please?
