#The bracha achrona for rice is boreh nefashot.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 208:7</ref> | |||
#If one recited al hamichya for rice after the fact one fulfilled his obligation.<ref>Vezot Habracha p. 108 citing Kaf Hachaim 208:41 and Shaarei Teshuva 208:5, Chazon Ovadia (Brachot p. 188). Shevet Halevi 9:65:2 questions this.</ref> | |||
#If one ate rice and a mezonot product, some poskim write that he should recite boreh nefashot first and then al hamichya, otherwise the al hamichya will cover the rice.<ref>Vezot Habracha p. 107 quoting Chesed L'alafim</ref> Others hold that in this case one should just recite al hamichya for both the mezonot and rice.<ref>Vezot Habracha p. 107 quoting Ben Ish Chai. Ben Ish Chai argues with Chesed L'alafim because switching the order is causing a bracha sheina tzaricha. Vezot Habracha answers this question since one's intent is to recite the most ideal bracha on the rice, namely, boreh nefashot. He quotes other proofs for this concept. Shevet Halevi 9:65:2 disagrees with the Ben Ish Chai. Chazon Ovadia (Brachot p. 189) quotes this dispute between Ben Ish Chai and Chesed L'alafim and implies that he sides with Chesed L'alafim.</ref> | |||
#The Bracha of brown rice is the same as white rice and when it’s cooked it’s [[mezonot]]. <ref>The Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 4, pg 518) writes that brown rice is processed in the same way as white rice (except that white rice is rubbed more) and he quotes Rav Elyashiv who agreed that they are both [[Mezonot]]. Similarly, Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 106 and Birur Halacha 18:4) writes that what we commonly view today as whole grain brown rice is actually what the Mishna Brurah called regular (white) rice and so it would certainly be [[mezonot]]. He also quotes Rav Moshe Shternbach who agreed that the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. </ref> | ==Brown Rice== | ||
