Why do onions
make you cry?
The Reason
When you cut an onion, the onion
oil creates a gas that enters
your eyes. It irritates your eyes
and your tear glands produce
extra tears to clean your eyes
and wash away the irritant.
How to Prevent
It
•
Chop an onion under running
water.
•
Turn on a fan while cutting an
onion to scatter the sulfur
compounds.
•
Chill or cook an onion before
chopping it.
•
Use an onion chopping
container.
•
Wear goggles or glasses to
protect your eyes.
