When you cut an onion, tears come out because the enzymes contained in the broken cells synthesize volatile tear gas components. However, in the United States, the tearless onion 'Sunions' has been on sale since 2018, and it has been talked about that it will be on sale in the United Kingdom from 2022.

Tears come out when cutting onions is a source of trouble for many people, and various measures such as 'putting goggles', 'stuffing tissue in the nose', and 'soaking cut onions in water' have been devised. increase. Shinsuke Imai, a researcher at House Foods Group, published a paper in 2002 on the mechanism by which tear gas components are produced when cutting onions. A suppressed ' tearless onion ' has been developed. Mr. Imai was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013 for his achievements.

The tear-free onions that suppress the tear gas component synthase using genetically modified technology have not been shipped to the market, but the House Foods Group has produced a tear-free onion called 'Smile Ball' made by breeding. I am selling it.

Even in the United States, tearless onions called 'Sunions', which are made by breeding over 30 years instead of genetically modified organisms, are cultivated for shipping to grocery stores. Sunions, which has few ingredients that induce spiciness and tears, has been certified as 'tears-free' by Ohio State University and BASF, a chemical manufacturer, and has a sweeter and easier-to-eat taste than ordinary onions.

Sunions have been on sale at American grocery stores since 2018, but it was reported that from 2022, Sunions will also be on sale at the British supermarket Waitrose. 'The sweetness of onions like Sunions is perfect for everything from salads to hot dishes,' said Paul Bidwell, an onion buyer at Waitrose.

However, Sunions is just a special onion, and the price per piece is about three times higher than the onions of its own brand sold by Waitrose. 'Sunions are much more expensive than regular onions, so they may make you weep in the face of rising food costs anyway,' said The Guardian, a major British daily.

The Smile Ball developed by the House Foods Group can also be purchased in Japan, but sales for 2021 have already ended, and the next sale is scheduled for fall 2022.
