Do you really know? 
Открыть в Hinto Об эпизоде
Ending up in tears when preparing a dish with onions can be pretty darn inconvenient. No sooner have you started chopping them up, you find your eyes getting watery and stinging. Of course, those tears aren’t related to any feelings of sadness; rather they’re down to a series of chemical reactions. Like a lot of fruit and veg we buy at the supermarket, onions are still technically alive when harvested and sold. And they have certain defence mechanisms to protect themselves. I would never have guessed! What kind of defence mechanisms are we talking about? What if none of those tips work for me? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
