  • We have all fallen victim to the pungent tears that follow slicing into an onion. However, this hack can help keep those irritating tears at bay.

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses various methods to reduce tearing while cutting onions. It suggests chilling the onion in the refrigerator or freezer before cutting to slow down the release of the tear-inducing sulfur compounds. Another method is to cut the onion under running water or use a sharp knife to minimize cell damage. The article also mentions using a food processor, wearing goggles, or lighting a candle near the cutting board to burn off the gas. Additionally, it advises cutting the root end last, as it contains the highest concentration of sulfur compounds, and suggests chewing gum to keep air flowing and reduce the impact of the gas on the eyes.
