Question

Hello, When a person opens a package of snacks with pieces of different sizes and intends to eat them all, is there an obligation to bless the largest piece (and therefore, in a bunch of grapes, would they need to find the largest grape before blessing), or is there no obligation to search for the largest piece for the blessing? (Also, if most pieces are broken, is there a need to search for a whole piece, although this is less common in reality) Thank you in advance!

Answer

Hello,

If there is a noticeably large piece, you should bless it.
