The Onions That Don't Make You Cry

Scientists and growers have worked for years to create onions that don't cause tears.

Some 'tearless' onion varieties are now sold in stores in the United States and other countries.

They are bred to produce far less of the compounds that make your eyes sting, especially after storage.

Sweet onions, such as Vidalia onions, also tend to be milder, which is why many people find them easier to chop.
