The Beracha on Bamba and One Who Said Ha'etz on a Banana

The Beracha on Bamba and One Who Said Ha'etz on a Banana Day: Tuesday Date: January 5, 2016 Parshat: Va'era Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 202 One who accidentally said ha'etz on a banana, instead of the correct ha'adama, does not need to say a new beracha. The proper beracha on popcorn and on sweetened wheat puffs is ha'adama, however a person who said shehakol has what to rely on. The correct beracha on the popular Bamba snack is ha'adama since the corn is grown specifically for the Bamba and it is chopped and then puffed, not ground. Many people are not aware of the process and mistakenly say shehakol, however in reality the beracha is ha'adama. DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
