it is true that if you chew gum while cutting onions you will not cry
chill the onions before cuttin it
Try putting your onions in the refrigerator before peeling and chopping or just buy onions already chopped in the freezer section.
Not a lot. :(A sulfur-based gas is released when cutting onions. This gas mixes with the water-based liquid on your eyes to form a mild Sulfuric acid. That's why you cry.A friend of mine says he uses swimming goggles when cutting onions. Sounds like a good theory to me, but I haven't tried it.You are right about it giving off a sulfur-based gas and how it makes you cry, but it's a fact that if you chew gum while peeling an onion it will reduce tears. :~)
some random guy
No. There is no research that says that cutting onions is good for your eyes. Cutting onions releases thiopropanol sulfoxide which, when it hits your eyes, creates a small amount of sulfuric acid. This is why your eyes burn and you cry when you cut onions.
Chilling onions can help reduce the release of the compound responsible for making you cry when cutting onions. It can also slow down the enzymatic reactions that cause onions to spoil, therefore extending their shelf life.
peeling onions
Onions have a high acid content and this makes them strong in flavor and makes you cry when cutting them.
they don't cry
When they chew on things, bite, drool, cry when they eat or show some sensitivity.
The sulfur compounds in ordinary onions are more concentrated and more effective at stimulating our tear glands.
i think near about 70% people are cry when they cut onions including me.
