When you cut onions why does it make you cry?!


Question: When you cut onions why does it make you cry!?
Can someone please tell me!? I can never find out the secret! So can I get some help!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The acids present in the onions are released as gases once you cut into them!. This floats up and irritates your eyes!. To reduce the gases released simply chill the onion before cutting it for 1/2 an hour!. The acids will be in a liquid state until they warm up enough to turn into gas!. By that time you will be done cutting up the onion and you shed less tears!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

it makes you cry because its stinky!.

plus, like me, you probably got kicked out of the bus on your way home coz they found out you didnt have your bus pass and now you're stuck on the highway along the dessert!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

When you cut onions, their cells break down, releasing some acids into gases!. The gases float into the air, soon reaching your eye, making it irritate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
