I don't like to going through the process of peeling onions. This is because it does affect my eyes. Though I have been told several times that I need it much because when we cry, we only wash the dirt which may be in our eyes especially the cornea part

This might really be true but it is going to be very difficult for me to do all those things you have mentioned because adding up the Onion peel into my food I consider it as unhygienic... All the nutrients that is available in the Onion peels are also available in the body since it is the body that later turns to the dry peels.
