# If the grain is split or crushed and then cooked the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. <Ref>S”A 208:2, Mishna Brurah 208:3, Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 27, pg 282) </ref> If the shell and a large piece of the grain was removed it is the same as if it was split or crushed. <Ref> Aruch HaShulchan 208:17, Sh”t Igrot Moshe 1:68 </ref>

# If the shell of the grain was removed and either the grains were crushed in the [[cooking]] process or the grains stuck together, the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. However, if the shell was removed and the grains weren’t crushed and didn’t stick together, the Bracha is a halachic doubt. <ref> Mishna Brurah 208:3 writes that if the grain is crushed the Bracha is [[Mezonot]] even if the shell wasn’t removed. Shaar HaTziyun 208:9 adds that if the shell was removed and the grain stuck together the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. However, Mishna Brurah 208:15 writes if just the shell was removed and the grain wasn’t crushed or stuck together the Bracha is dependant on a dispute between the Rambam and Talmidei Rabbenu Yonah. Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 27, pg 282) concurs. [See also Sh"t Igrot Moshe 1:68.] </ref>

# If the grain is whole (the shell of the grain wasn’t removed) before [[cooking]] the Bracha is HaAdama unless it was crushed well in the [[cooking]] process in which case it is [[Mezonot]]. <ref> S”A 208:4 writes that grain which was roasted or cooked whole is HaAdama. Mishna Brurah 208:3 adds that it's only HaAdama if it wasn't crushed well in the [[cooking]] process, however, if it was it would be [[Mezonot]]. The Shaar HaTziyun 208:18 writes that it would be a safek (halachic doubt) if the grain was whole and was only crushed slightly, however, it's possible that one may make [[Mezonot]]. Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 27, pg 282) concurs. [It is for this reason that the Piskei Teshuvot 208:3 writes that chulent is [[Mezonot]] because the barley is crushed well even if it is whole.] </ref>
