Fruits and Vegetables
From Halachipedia
Definitions
- Fruit of the tree which halachically is defined as having a trunk that stays alive and produces fruit year after year has the Bracha of HaEtz. [1]
- Vines and bushes are considered trees and the fruit are HaEtz if the bush grows taller than 3 Tefachim (9 inches). Examples of this include blueberries, grapes, and kiwis. [2]
Fruit that are HaAdama
- A banana plant’s trunk dies yearly and so bananas are HaAdama. [3]
- Raspberries and papaya are similar to bananas and have the Bracha of HaAdama. [4]
- Bushes which grow within 3 Tefachim (9 inches) of the ground have the Bracha of HaAdama. Examples of this include cranberries and wild blueberries. [5]Accordingly, craisins would be Haadama. [6]
Fruits or vegetables receiving Shehakol
- If one eats a fruit or vegetable in a way that is not the usual way it is eaten in that local one should make a Shehakol. [7]
- Examples include eating quince, onions (outside of salad), or peanuts raw requires Shehakol and eating melon, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, or walnuts cooked requires Shehakol. [8]
- If a fruit or vegetable is usually eaten raw and cooked then the regular Bracha applies. [9]
- Examples include almond, apples, tomatoes, and carrots which are eaten raw and cooked. [10]

The Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) and Halachos of Brachos Handbook (p. 39) write that dried fruit is the same as regular fruit for hilchot brachos. Since cranberries are Haadama (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 393, chapter 22), craisins should be Haadama. A Community Awareness Bulletin Tishrei 5763 also writes that craisins are the same as cranberries, which according to the Halachos of Brachos is Haadama.
