Tips to Prevent Tearing When Cutting Onions

Filed Under (Home Remedies, Natural Remedies) by Our Home Remedies on 03-10-2008

When an onion is pierced, a chemical reaction takes place, which releases sulfur compounds. These compounds may irritate the eyes and cause tearing.

To reduce tearing:

• Chill onion for about 30 minutes before cutting.
• Always use sharp knife.
• Begin cutting at the top, leave root end uncut as long as possible as it contains the highest concentration of sulfur compounds.
