The After Beracha For One Who Had Half a Kezayit of Two Different Foods

The After Beracha For One Who Had Half a Kezayit of Two Different Foods
Day: Friday
Date: February 19, 2016
Parshat: Titzaveh
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 208


One who ate half a kezayit of fruits of the shiv'at haminim and half a kezayit of fruits that are not part of the shiv'at haminim does not say any after beracha at all since he did not have a full kezayit of either one. However, if one ate half a kezayit each from two different foods that both require boreh nefashot, such as apples and fish, then they are combined and he says boreh nefashot to cover both. Likewise, one who ate half a kezayit each from two different fruits that both require al ha'etz, such as figs and raisins, says al ha'etz afterward even though he did not have enough of either one for an after beracha. One who accidentally said boreh nefashot instead of me'en shalosh does not say me'en shalosh afterward.
