Two days ago I was peeling onion and then painful tears started gushing out of my eyes, my eyes were hurting during that period, cutting onions has turned out to be one of my fears while cooking. I guess you have had that same experience, today am going to tell you why onion makes you shed tears.

Onion ( Allium cepa) is a vegetable which consists of so many compounds especially(sulphuric compounds), as an onion is sliced it releases a class of enzyme called allinases which produces a range of compounds as a defense mechanism, one called the lachrymatory factor, from Latin meaning lacrima, it irritates the eye and then stimulates the tear glands to produce tears.

When next you want to cut onion, get a gum, and chew it continuously and rigorously till you finish cutting the onion, you won't shed any tear.
