Why Does Cutting Onions Make You Cry?

Cutting an onion breaks open its cells and starts chemical reactions that produce an irritating vapor called syn-propanethial S-oxide. When that vapor reaches your eyes, your tear glands produce tears to help wash it away!

Curious Kids Every Day is a daily, interactive podcast that respects your child’s intelligence and curiosity. I created this to be a show I would be happy to have my kids listen to.
