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]
HaAdama after the fact
- If one said HaAdama on bread or a Mezonit food then one fulfills his obligation to make a beracha bediavad, after the fact. [3]
Fruit that are HaAdama
- A banana plant’s trunk dies yearly and so bananas are HaAdama. [4]
- Raspberries and papaya are similar to bananas and have the Bracha of HaAdama. [5] Some, however, consider raspberries to be HaEtz.[6]
- Bushes which grow within 3 Tefachim (9 inches) of the ground have the Bracha of HaAdama. Examples of this include cranberries and wild blueberries. [7]Accordingly, craisins would be Haadama. [8]
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. [9]
- Examples include eating quince, onions (outside of salad), or peanuts raw requires Shehakol and eating melon, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, or walnuts cooked requires Shehakol. [10]
- If a fruit or vegetable is usually eaten raw and cooked then the regular Bracha applies. [11]
- Examples include almond, apples, tomatoes, and carrots which are eaten raw and cooked. [12]

The Bet Yosef 203:2 cites a dispute between the Geonim who say that berries that grow on bushes which die and the branches regenerate each year are haadama and the Maharam who would make Haetz since the branches were woody and lasted for that year. Shulchan Aruch 203:2 rules that the bracha is Haadama. Vezot HaBracha writes that today's raspberry bushes have branches which only produce fruit in its second year, not the first or third.

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.

- ↑ Mishnah Berurah 202:39. The Taz (OC 204:15) writes that one should recite Ha’odama, since the Gemara writes that on the peel of the fruit of the caper bush one recites Ha’odama. The Taz maintains that the same holds true for other peels as well. The Magen Avrohom (202:17) writes that one should recite Ha’eitz. Unlike the peel of the caper which separates from the fruit while it grows, the orange peel is part of the fruit. The Pri Megadim (202:17) writes that the bracha is Shehakol. He explains that the ikar (main ingredient) in candied orange peels is the sugar or honey, which is Shehakol. The Mishna Brura concludes that since we are not sure which beracha to recite, one should recite Shehakol
