Question

What is the blessing for porridge?

Answer

Shalom and blessings.

Porridge made from one of the following grains: wheat, barley, spelt, rye, oats, is blessed with "Borei Minei Mezonot".

Other porridges, such as corn, are blessed with "Shehakol".

Porridge made from a mixture of several types, if the five types of grain are intended to enhance the taste of the porridge, is blessed with "Borei Minei Mezonot".

If it is not known why the five types of grain were mixed into the porridge, follow the majority: if the majority is the five types of grain, bless "Borei Mezonot", if not, bless "Shehakol".
