* Rashi (37a D”H VeLo Klum) explains that the Gemara means that there’s no Bracha Mein Shalosh which is for Shivat HaMinim but rather there still is Boreh Nefashot. This is agreed upon by many Rishonim including the Rif (Brachot 26a), Rosh (Brachot 6:8) and Rambam (Brachot 3:10). The Tur and S”A 208:7 codify this as halacha that the Bracha on Orez is Mezonot and the Bracha Achrona is Boreh Nefashot.

* [Why is rice Boreh Nefashot? The Rosh (Brachot 6:8) explains that the reason rice is Mezonot is because it provides sustenance like a grain but is Boreh Nefashot because it’s not one of the Shivat HaMinim. Interestingly, the Mishna Brurah 208:29 writes that rice is Boreh Nefashot because only the five grains receive Al HaMichya because of their significance. ]

* What is orez? Rashi (Brachot 37a D”H orez) defines orez as millet and Tosfot D"H Orez defines Orez as rice. Bet Yosef 208:7 rules like Tosfot's definition of Orez. The Mishna Brurah 208:25 writes that because of the dispute some say (Taz) that one should only eat it in a meal or make Shehakol. However, he concludes that many achronim (Lechem Chamudot, Birkei Yosef, Mateh Yehuda, Maaseh Rav of the Gra) agree with Tosfot. Moreover, in Shaar HaTzion 208:31 he adds that there’s several other reasons why there’s what to rely on to make mezonot on rice. So rules Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) and the Halachos of Brachos (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 4, pg 517).

# Raw or roasted rice is HaAdama. <Ref>Gemara Brachot 37a writes that raw rice is HaAdama. This is brought as halacha by the Rif (Brachot 25a) and Rosh (Brachot 6:8). The Tur and S”A 208:7 codify this as halacha. Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) adds that the same is true of roasted rice. </ref>
