- The substances that give onions their flavor are also the culprits that make you cry when you are cutting them.
- Onions contain sulfuric compounds that are released when the onion is cut.
- The chemical is then dissolved in the water in your eyes, creating a mild sulfuric acid.
- Thats right: sulfuric acid.
- In your eyes.
- So how can you stop it?
- Chilling onions before cutting them seems to help some, but sadly, the perfect onion-cutting protectant has not yet been discovered.
