The After Beracha on Mixtures Containing Wheat

The After Beracha on Mixtures Containing Wheat
Day: Friday
Date: February 26, 2016
Parshat: Ki Tisa
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 208


The beracha on a flour based food which contains less flour than other ingredients is still mezonot. If the mixture nevertheless contains enough flour for one to consume a kezayit of flour within seven and a half minutes and he indeed ate that much, al hamihya is said afterward. If there was not enough flour in the mixture to eat a kezayit within seven and a half minutes, no after beracha is said. Fillings in cookies or cake do not count toward the kezayit necessary for the after beracha. The beracha on Turkish delight made with cornstarch is shehakol and if a kezayit was eaten within seven and a half minutes the after beracha is boreh nefashot. If it is made from wheat based starch, the beracha is mezonot. If there was enough consumed that a kezayit of wheat was eaten in seven and a half minutes, the after beracha is al hamihya.
