What is the best way to keep from tearing up when cutting onions? The National Onion Association recommends chilling onions in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to slicing. Also, always cut the shoot end off and peel the onion first, leaving the root end intact, when slicing or chopping. The highest concentration of the sulfer compounds that cause the tearing are found in the root end of the onion.
