Onion: Why we are crying over you?

Onion is one of the commonly used spices because of the great taste it brings to our food but if we overcook it will become bitter, so be little sensitive with time when frying it.

Before cooking, we have to cut it first and I think most people doesn't like doing it because of the tears it brings into our eyes.  To avoid crying while preparing your meal, just wear  a solid plastic goggles.

Do you know what causes tears when slicing the onion? It is due to the sulfuric acid that forms when the fluid in our eyes react against the chemical "propanethiol  S-oxide".
