# The minhag of Klal Yisrael is to eat certain fruits and vegetables on the two nights of Rosh Hashana as a good sign (Siman) for the coming year. These friuts and vegetables include: dates, promegrantes, beets, gourd, black eyed peas, fish head, and apple. <ref>Torat HaMoadim 4:1</ref> | |||
# One should eat these fruits and vegetables in the meal after having eaten a kezayit of bread. If one is eating these foods in the meal, one should only a HaEtz upon a friut and one is exempt from making a HaAdama on the vegetables. One should make the bracha of HaEtz upon the dates because it has precedence over the promegrantes or apples. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah (yamim Noraim p. 93)</ref> | |||
