# 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> | # 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]].

# Rice Crispies are [[mezonot]] and [[Boreh Nefashot]]. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 106 and Birur Halacha 18:5(1)) rules that Rice Crispies which are first cooked and then puffed up by heating are [[mezonot]] because they are considered cooked rice; he quotes Rav Sheinburg who agrees. Halachos of Brochos (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 5, pg 526) | # Rice Crispies are [[mezonot]] and [[Boreh Nefashot]]. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 106 and Birur Halacha 18:5(1)) rules that Rice Crispies which are first cooked and then puffed up by heating are [[mezonot]] because they are considered cooked rice; he quotes Rav Sheinburg who agrees. Halachos of Brochos (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 5, pg 526) and [http://www.halachayomit.co.il/EnglishDisplayRead.asp?readID=2784 Chacham Ovadia Yosef] agree.

# Rice cakes are made by steaming rice kernels until they pop. However, this is not considered [[cooking]] and therefore Rice cakes according to many are Ha’adoma. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman and Rav Pinchas Sheinburg, Or Letzion 14:21 | # Rice cakes are made by steaming rice kernels until they pop.

However, Brachat HaNehenin (pg 191) writes that Rav Elyashiv didn’t finalize this ruling. </ref> In conclusion, one should make HaAdama which will satisfy both opinions. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) in name of Rav Moshe Shternbach and Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 520, Addendum 4) write that in conclusion one should make a HaAdama.

# Rice brittle (which is common in [[Israel]]) according to many poskim is HaAdama. <Ref>Rice brittle is made from rice which was puffed up by heat and not cooked properly, Therefore, Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 18:5(2), pg 256) quoting Rav Shlomo Zalman, Rav Sheinburg, and Rav Shternbach writes that rice brittle is considered raw rice which is HaAdama. Rav Ovadyah Yosef in Chazon Ovadyah ([[Brachot]] pg 184) concurs. </ref> | # Rice brittle (which is common in [[Israel]]) according to many poskim is HaAdama. <Ref>Rice brittle is made from rice which was puffed up by heat and not cooked properly, Therefore, Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 18:5(2), pg 256) quoting Rav Shlomo Zalman, Rav Sheinburg, and Rav Shternbach writes that rice brittle is considered raw rice which is HaAdama.
