Onions are evil...🌰🌰🌰

Onions are satan's minions

Onions are the most evilest vegetable I have ever seen and I know deep inside you all agree with me. I mean do you see any other vegetable that make you cry? Although a vegetable thrown onto your face does make you cry but lets not go there. So where were we........ Ah yes!! Onions are evil !!! They make us cry😢  why onion why? What did we ever do to you???

Onion : why i am being portrayed as        evil?
Author: cuz u make us cry
Onion: STOP CUTTING ME THEN
Author: then wut are we supposed to do with you, you stupid vegetable
Onion: .........
Author: ..... Hmmm lets go back to wut we were saying
Onion: okay. But i have my eyes on you.
Author: 😅😅
          WE NEED ANSWERS !!!!
Onion : oh! I can help. That's because
Author: STOOOOOOOOP
Onion : what?
Author: then y am i here? Be like a good vegetable and dont distrub me
Onion: Jesus lady, okay fine i am going.
* onion walks away*

So I decided something, to find the answers, to know why onion hates us. To my surprise it was way more easier than finding Nemo. Huh! Who knew google is so brilliant . Finally I found the science behind it, more like chemistry behind it. What? Its clearly said in the description that we gonna see the chemistry of it, what were you expecting? Physics???
Anyway before explaining why onions are being a bitch d-
Onion: heyyy who you calling bitch lady😠😠😠
Author: ...... Beach?
Onion: I can read you know
Author : oh I suddenly remembered to water my dog, gotta go, bye.
Onion: wha- okay i am so done, come here and continue this
Author: aye aye captain onion

Before explaining the whole cry me a river for onion, did you guys know that there are different types of tears? If you didn't, yes there are and that too three types
  First one is the emotional tears these are mainly the most memorable type of tears. They are the kind when we cry due to getting hurt or being upset or emotionally stressed. Chopping onions obviously doesn't cause emotional stress unless you are in love with root vegetables and planning on moving with them.

Next is basal tears, which doesn't run down your cheeks like emotional tears. They are more like a protective layer of a liquid that always cover your eyes. Every time you blink your eyelids cover your eyes with a new basal tear. That's why your eyes will dry out if you stop blinking. This doesn't have much to do with onions.

So that leaves us with the third kind of tear reflexive tear, your eyes well up with reflexive tears whenever other outside particles get into your eyes. This is usually caused by things like dust, wind, pollen, smoke, smog and yup you guessed it right onion vapours!!!!! Tadaa

Now we know what type of tears make us cry over onions.But what is actually in the onion that makes us cry?
   When we cut into the onion we are slicing through the onion cells, which cause a chemical reaction inside the broken cells. That reaction causes a gas to form that is irritational to they eyes of normal humans. Irritation causes the brain to send reflxive tears to your eyes and viola you cry!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm... This isn't enough, my brain cells are not satisfied.
Onion: when are you ever satisfied? Drama queen
Author : my name spells D-R-A-M-A-T-I-C
Onion: you are hopeless, why am i even friends with you.
Author: who said you are my friend?
Onion: thats it, i am packing my bags. You will forever be alone
Author: 😕😕😕😕
      Aish dont worry we'll patch up later. I hope....
Again where were we ... So i did more research and by research I mean I googled it like normal people do. And from my intense research I found out more interesting stuff. Read very carefully!

Onions are delicious root vegetables which belong to the genus Allium along with garlic, chive etc etc. Actually when you plant something,  that something doesn't just suck up water and sunlight, it also take nutrients and minerals from the soil.  Good soil will contain organic matter like phosphorous,  nitrogen,  carbon and sulphur which this particular bulbous fleshy thick juicy vegetable tends to absorb  a lot.
So when you stab that mf  bit- ahem i meant when you cut open an onion, you are breaking it's cell structure, allowing amino acid sulphoxides present in it to form sulphenic acid.  It also releases the enzyme lachrymatory factor synthase ( yes I know it's a stupidly long name,  but the next one I am gonna say is more nasty)  which reacts with the sulphenic acid to form an air borne volatile chemical syn propanethiol-S-oxide ( what did I say, I never really understood the reason why they give names which are impossible to pronounce,  for the time being let's just say onion vapours) . As this stupidly named chemical rises in the air it eventually meets the tears that are already present in your eyes and reacts with them. When this onion vapours hit the tear it rearranges forming sulphuric acid in your eyes.  So you cry when onions are cut because enzymes create battery acids IN YOUR EYE BALLS!!!  woooooww each day we learn new things.

And here we all thought onions are evil.
Onion: what do you mean by all?  It was all you.
Author: I pretty sure everyone thought the same.
Onion: doesn't change the fact that you called me evil .
Author : I did not.
Onion: seriously,  are we doing this? 
Author: I have no idea what you are talking about.
Onion: it's literally written in the chapters name
Author: ........
Onion:😒😒😒😒
Author: it's a misunderstanding
Onion: yeah yeah what ever, I am going to sleep. Don't disturb me
Author: okayyyy

Phewww that was one big misunderstanding. But its all cleared now. But then again can't we just suck this ingredient away from onion , like we have  made seedless fruits so why not tearless onions. It's cause scientists initially believed that this factor and the flavour of the onions are linked together so that if we remove that onions won't taste like onions. But later it was found that this may not be true, they say that there is an undiscovered substance( yes people onion is Illuminati) inside onion and it is possible to separate it out. Later on may be scientists would develop tearless onions, who knows.

Meanwhile how do we avoid crying?
Well guess who gave me answers.....google,  she's an angel.  Hmm okay so according to Google freezing the onions before chopping makes the sulphoxides and enzymes to react slowly and produce less gas and thus reduce the amount of crying. We can also wear goggles  so that the gas doesn't reach our eyes. It is also said that below the onion root there is a bulb where the concentration of chemicals is more hence to avoid crying we should first cut and throw that part away.  Washing the onions before cutting can help to wash away the chemicals.  Some say lighting a candle near the cutting board will also help as the flames form the candle burns the sulphur compounds released by the onion.  Butt buttt buttt I have a better idea,  we can do all the above mentioned things so that you don't have to cry over onions.

Sooooo finally  we know we cry while practically murdering onions is because of the stupid onion vapours and not because we are emotionally attached to onions.
Onion:(¬_¬)
