Slicing onions from root to stem preserves their structure, resulting in a firmer texture and less crying while cutting.
To do so, immerse raw onions in cold water for about 15 minutes as soon as you chop them up. This simple trick helps draw out the sulphuric compounds that are responsible for that sharp and stinging bite, leaving you with raw onions that are crunchy and crisp while also not being too overbearing. Alternatively, if you're short on time, you can also rinse raw sliced onions for a quicker way to temper their bitter bite.
