Why Onion Makes You Cry 😭 ???


Even the STRONGEST πŸ’ͺ Marvel character is no exception to the brutality of these cruel infinitely layered ONIONS (πŸ§…). 

Come Lets know the Science behind this vegie which makes you cry like a 1 year old.

When you cut an onion, it releases a compound called propanethial S - oxide.This compound being a volatile irritant reacts with moisture to form mild sulphuric acid that reaches the eye and stimulates out tear glands to flush out this cry baby molecule out of our cooking dreams.This crying phenomenon is a natural defence mechanism adapted by our body over the centuries. 

So here's how you can win a Onion cutting competion without crying :

     1) Chill the onion in the freezer for 15 mins which reduces the rapid release of onion.

    2) Use a sharp knife , which will damage less onion cells

    3) Wear protective goggles which will shield your eyes from irritant.

    4) Cut near running water 

But if you are those sensitive people who shed tears even after these precautions you better don't cut at all !!
