# The [[Bracha Achrona]] for grapes, figs, pomegranate, olives, and dates is Bracha Achat Mein Shalosh with the insert of Al HaEtz VeAl Pri HaEtz. <Ref> Tur 208:1 writes that the fruit of the seven species with which [[Israel]] was praise have [[Bracha Achrona]] of Bracha Mein Shalosh. S”A 208:1 agrees. </ref>

==Fruit, Wine, or Mezonot from Israel==
# If a person eats Shivat Haminim fruit from Israel he changes the text of the conclusion from Al Hapeirot to Al Peiroteha<ref>Gemara Brachot 44a concludes that in Israel we recite the bracha Al Peiroteha and in the diaspora we recite Al Hapeirot. Rabbenu Yonah 32a s.v. velo explains that if one knew with certainty that fruit was grown in Israel and was exported even in the diaspora one should conclude Al Peiroteha. The Shulchan Aruch OC 208:10 rules like Rabbenu Yonah. </ref> in order to praise Hashem for giving us Israel which produces these Shivat Haminim.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:53</ref> If one isn't sure whether the fruit is from Israel or not one should just conclude with Al Hapeirot.<ref>Rabbenu Yonah Brachot 32a s.v. velo, Mishna Brurah 208:54</ref>
# If a person drinks wine from Israel he changes the text of the conclusion from Al Hagefen to Al Gafna.<ref>Birkei Yosef 208:10, Kaf Hachaim 208:58</ref>
# If a person eats mezonot foods from Israel he changes the text of the conclusion from Al Hamichya to Al Michyata.<ref>Birkei Yosef 208:10, Kaf Hachaim 208:58. However, Netsiv (Meromei Sadeh Brachot 44a s.v. veha) argues that one shouldn't change the conclusion for Al Hamichya since the bracha includes a bracha for all five grains even though only wheat and barley are specifically used to praise Israel. In order to not to distinguish between the different types of grain one eats they never instituted a change for mezonot.</ref>
==Insertions for Shabbat, Yom Tov, Rosh Chodesh==
# On Shabbat we insert the phrase "ורצה והחליצנו ביום השבת הזה" before כי אתה טוב ומטיב.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:58. The Yerushalmi Brachot 6:1 45b establishes that we should mention in Mein Shalosh the Mein Hameorah. The Rambam Brachot 3:13 and Rosh Brachot 6:42 quote this with respect to Shabbat and Yom Tov. Bet Yosef 208:12 cites the Tashbetz Katan who adds Rosh Chodesh as well. However, Tosfot Brachot 44a s.v. al writes that the practice wasn't to add anything for these days. Shulchan Aruch OC 208:12 codifies the Yerushalmi with respect to Shabbat, Yom Tov, and Rosh Chodesh.</ref>
# On Yom Tov we insert the phrase "וזכרנו לטובה ביום חג פלוני הזה" (where Ploni is replaced with the specific holiday) before כי אתה טוב ומטיב.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:58</ref>
# On Rosh Chodesh we insert the phrase "וזכרנו ביום ראש חדש הזה" before כי אתה טוב ומטיב.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:58</ref>
# There is no insertion for Chanuka and Purim since there is no hodah (praise for Israel) section in Mein Shalosh.<Ref>The Maharam Rotenberg (responsa Prague edition n. 70) writes that there's no mentioning of Chanuka and Purim in Mein Shalosh since it is only mentioned in Birkat Hamazon in the hodah, praise, section of the second bracha but since there's no corresponding part of Mein Shalosh it isn't mentioned at all. Hagahot Maimoniyot Brachot 30 cites this. Levush 208:12 explains the Maharam. He adds that even though we mention Nodeh Lecha at the end of the Mein Shalosh that's not the main place of hodah, it is just a summary before the conclusion. The Lechem Chamudot (Brachot 6:135) asks on the Levush that one should still be able to mention it there since it is no different than the Harachaman's. However, the Eliya Rabba 208:21 points out that the Lechem Chamudot's question isn't strong and in fact the Levush's reason is explicit in the Maharam. The Gra on 208:12 and Mishna Brurah 208:59 provide another reason; since mentioning the Mein Meorah in Birkat Hamazon is only and there's no minhag for Mein Shalosh there's no need to say it. Shulchan Aruch OC 208:12 agrees.</ref>
# If someone forgot to mention the insertion of the day one fulfilled one's obligation of the bracha.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:58. The Shaar Hatziyun 208:60 provides three reasons: 1) You didn't have to eat this snack in the first place as we find regarding Yaaleh Veyavo on Rosh Chodesh (Chidushei Haraah). 2) Many rishonim didn't say it at all (Tosfot Brachot 44a s.v. al). 3) Also, the Yerushalmi's language implies it is only something to be concerned about initially.</ref>
