The onion is linked to the reason why it often makes us cry when we cut it. This phenomenon is due to a chemical reaction that begins when we cut the onion's cells. During cutting, enzymes are released that react with the sulfur-containing amino acids in the onion, forming a volatile substance called "onion lacrimatory factor synthase" (LF, Lacrimatory Factor synthase).

When this substance comes into contact with our eyes, our body interprets it as an irritant, and in response, the eyes begin to produce tears to dilute and wash it away. Interestingly, not all onions make us cry to the same extent; some varieties are less "tearful" than others, and cutting methods and refrigeration of the onion can reduce the tear-producing effect. For example, cutting a cold onion (after keeping it in the refrigerator) can reduce the amount of enzymes released and thus the tears
