Why does cutting onions open hurt our eyes?
In: Chemistry
The compound that is produced when an onion is cut is called syn-propanethial-S-oxide..Its attracted to moisture so you can cut your onions near running water, whistling is said to work but the most efficient way I’ve found is to just put them in the fridge or freezer 10-15 min. prior to cutting..Heard cutting them near a flame helps as well..
