Onion facts

Slicing onions makes one cry because when you cut into it, the onion produces a sulfur-based gas. The gas reacts with the water in your eyes and forms sulfuric acid. To avoid/reduce these tears, you might need to move your face farther away from the onion so the gas disperses before reaching your eyes.
Another suggestion for reducing tears is to slice the onion into two then chill for about 30 minutes for the dissemination of the gas. Then, you can cut off the top and peel the outer layers.
