How to stop crying when cutting onions

Onions, especially the red one make us cry when cutting them which causes discomfort. Below are some tips on how you can reduce the effects.

• Sprinkle salt all over the onion before you start cutting.
• Stick your tongue out the whole time you are cutting. The tongue absorbs the onion juice.
•  If sticking the tongue out is uncomfortable, bite onto a slice of bread that that the onion juice is absorbed onto it
• Soak the onions in water for a minute or two before slicing
