Practical Tips for Enjoying Onions Without Tears or Discomfort

Start with just ¼ onion to test tolerance
Peel under running water or chill first to reduce eye irritation
Strain drinks if raw onion feels too strong
Chew fresh parsley afterward for fresher breath
Limit to 4 oz total onion liquid daily
Safety Guidelines to Keep in Mind
Onions are generally safe and well-tolerated, but:
Speak with your doctor first if you take blood-thinning medications
Avoid large amounts if you have active stomach ulcers or gallstones
Wait 30 minutes before taking medications to prevent interactions
Choose organic when possible to minimize pesticide exposure
