Japanese specialists of the food industry have raised a new species of onion which does not cause tears when cutting, thus solving one of those small, but extremely unpleasant everyday problems, delivering a constant concern. As reported by the newspaper "Hokkaido Shimbun", "dry-eyed" the bulbs will be in stores throughout Japan this fall.

When cutting a bow is a violation of the integrity of its cells, which leads to the release of sulfur gas from the onion. He gets on the mucous membrane of the eyes and causes tears. A Japanese scientist, after 20 years of experiments with the cells of the onion managed to plant almost does not emit this gas.

Manufacturers assure, that a new kind of bow, which was called "the Smiling balloon" form is virtually indistinguishable from its "evil" counterpart. However, the product does not smell, and its taste sweetish and somewhat similar to the Apple or the pear, making it ideal for use in salads.

The price of the package of two bulbs will be about 450 yen ($4,3), which is two times higher than usual. The plan this year will be sold about 10 tons of "dry-eyed" Luke, in 2019, sales will increase to 1,000 tons.

To combat onion tears there are many folk methods. For example, before cutting an onion is recommended to put briefly in the refrigerator or even the freezer. In addition, onions can be cut in water, which prevents the ingress into the air of sulfur compounds and part of the onion around the root and does not cut until the very end, because it has the greatest concentration of such substances.
