Raw or Roasted Grains: Difference between revisions

# If the shell of a 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. If the shell wasn't removed and the grain was only crushed slightly the Bracha is a halachic doubt but it's possible that one should make 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 HaTzion 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. 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>
