==Foods Made With One of the Five Grains==
==Foods Made With One of the Five Grains==


#Foods made with the five grains are Mezonot since the five grains are objectively more significant than other foods.<ref>Brachos 36b states that anything containing any of the five grains deserves a Mezonos. Shulchan Aruch 208:2 codifies this gemara. Rambam (Hilchos Brachos 3:4-7) understands this principle to be a function of ikar ve’tafel. Accordingly, Tosfos (Brachos 36b s.v. kol she’yaish) write that the flour in a mixture warrants a Mezonos only when the flour serves to satiate, and not merely to hold the components together. While Tosfos do not mention explicitly that this principle is a function of ikar ve’tafel, the Rosh (Brachos 6:7) does, explaining that flour serving as a binder is not considered ikar. However, the Ritva (Brachos 47a s.v. ha’koseis) learns that the five grains are an exception to the typical rules of ikar ve’tafel, warranting a Mezonos even when not assuming the role of ikar in a food.  </ref>
