* Rava in Gemara Brachot 36b says that dry peppercorn and dry ginger don’t require a bracha, whereas moist peppercorn and moist ginger have a bracha. The Rif (Brachot 25b) and Rambam (Brachot 8:7) rule that moist ginger and peppercorn is HaAdama and dry ones don’t have any bracha because they are spices and not food. Tosfot (Brachot 36b s.v. BeRetivah) agrees that the bracha for the moist spices are HaAdama but they’re reason is that its not commonly eaten while dry.

* The Rosh (Brachot 6:6), however, distinguishes between moist ginger, which requires a HaAdama, and moist peppercorn, which requires HaEtz. He supports his contention from the Gemara that says peppercorn trees are obligated in Orlah, a law specific to trees. Rabbenu Yonah (Brachot 25b s.v. Pilpili) and Tur 202:18 agree.

* The Bet Yosef 202:18 quotes the Chiddushei HaRashba and Raavad as agreeing with the Rosh, and Rav Hai Goan agreeing with the Rif. Shaar HaTzion 202:89 quotes the Raah and Gra as ruling like the Rosh in opposition to the Eshkol, Smag, and Bahag as holding like the Rif.

* The Rashba (responsa 1:400) defends the Rif who says that moist peppercorn is HaAdama because the peppercorn is primarily planted in order to be eaten as a spice with other foods. He says that it really should have been Shehakol (like Koreh) if not for the fact that it is also sometimes eaten while moist and so its HaAdama instead of HaEtz. Magen Avraham 202:35 and Mishna Brurah 202:82 quotes this explanation.

* Darkei Moshe 202:2 explains that the halacha should be to make HaAdama because after the fact if one made a HaAdama on a fruit one fulfilled one’s obligation. S”A 202:18 agrees. Bach 202:10 writes that such as is the minhag.
