Ever wonder why onions bring tears to your eyes and how to avoid this?

Its because of the chemical reaction,
Chopping or slicing onions ,breaks down its cells. Amino acids and enzymes mix, creating sulfur chemicals that evaporates easily. Sulfur compounds spread throughout the air irritating the eyes.older onions create this effect most strongly.
To reduce or avoid this irritation, one can put a mouthful of water and hold it till you finish chopping, or you can chew gum to avoid this.
