what can I do to prevent my eyes from tearing when chopping an onion?

Tearless onions

No more stinging or burning eyes when chopping onions. Cut them near a flame and the sulfur compounds released from the onions will burn off before they reach your eyes. You can also try lighting a candle near the cutting board.

Dont forget to blow out the flame when finished!
