How do you sweeten onions?
It is by lowering sulfur and raising water contents that onions are sweetened for cultivation and by chilling, heating or soakingthat they are sweetened for serving.Specifically, sweet onions are big and round because of their water content. They are not pungent because they are grown from carefully selected, fresh seed from the season's sweet onions. But they do not have to be alone in their sweet taste since other onions provide less pungent tastes after chilling in ice, heating in a pan of oil or on a grill, and soaking in cream or milk.

Will cooking onions reduce their acid content?
Heating acids degrades them which reduces the amount of acid content when it breaks the acids down. So by cooking onions you are in essence reducing the acidic content, but you are also concentrating other flavors. On a side note, if you are referring to reducing the eye irritation when cutting or bruising onions then that is a little different. Onions contain sulfuric compounds that produce sulfuric acid when they waft in the air and make contact with the water in your eye. The sulfuric acid burns your eye and your tear ducts release tears to try and wash it out or dilute it enough to stop the burning sensation.
