#Rice which is crushed and cooked is [[mezonot]]. However, rice which is whole is subject to some dispute but nonetheless, the major poskim all rule that the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. <ref>*When is rice [[Mezonot]]? Gemara [[Brachot]] 37a writes that raw rice is HaAdama however, if it’s crushed into flour, baked into bread, and then cooked, whether or not the pieces of the bread dissolve in the water the Bracha is [[Mezonot]] (according to the explanation of Rashi). The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:8) rules that for both a cooked dish and bread (baked dish) made from rice the Bracha is [[Mezonot]] and [[Boreh Nefashot]]. The Rambam ([[Brachot]] 3:10), Tur and S”A 208:7 agree. [The Bet Yosef 208:7 explains that the proof of the Rosh is from the fact that when the pieces of bread are intact then it’s the equivalent of rice bread which wasn’t cooked and when the pieces of bread are dissolved, then it’s the equivalent (more precisely, it’s no worse than) of cooked dish made from rice.] | #Rice which is crushed and cooked is [[mezonot]].

*When is rice considered cooked? The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:8) implies that only crushed rice is [[mezonot]], however, if it was cooked whole then it would be HaAdama. (This is the understanding of the Bet Yosef 208:7.) Even though the Rabbenu Yonah ([[Brachot]] 26a s.v. VeHaPat) states that rice is unique that even if it’s cooked whole the Bracha is [[Mezonot]] (because it’s normally eaten that way), nonetheless, the Bet Yosef 208:7 explains that the Rabbenu Yonah only meant that rice is [[mezonot]] if it’s crushed even when it’s not pulverized (see there). Therefore, the Rama 208:7 rules that rice isn’t [[mezonot]] unless it’s crushed and cooked. | *When is rice considered cooked?

*The Beiur Halacha 208:7 s.v. Ad Shenitmaech writes that many achronim argue whether or not rice cooked whole is [[mezonot]] and concludes that he would side with the Bet Yosef and Rama and wouldn’t make [[mezonot]] on rice cooked whole, however, one would makes [[mezonot]] has what to rely on. The Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 4, pg 518) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman who says that if whole cooked rice sticks together it’s [[Mezonot]] and if it doesn’t stick together some have the minhag to make HaAdama and some [[Mezonot]]. Furthermore Mishna Brurah 208:26 quotesthe Pri Megadim who says that if the outer shell of the rice is removed before [[cooking]] (as is common) perhaps the Bracha is [[mezonot]]. Therefore, the Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 4, pg 518) and Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 106 and Birur Halacha 18:3, pg 254) rule that cooked rice is [[mezonot]] even if the rice is whole kernels.</ref> | *The Beiur Halacha 208:7 s.v.
