Question
Hello, I would like to know what blessing should be recited over 'Pro' bread from the Agami bakery under the supervision of Rabbi Landa, intended for people interested in increased protein and low carbohydrates. Attached is the list of ingredients from which the bread is made. (Because I heard that some rabbis instruct to bless 'shehakol' over it). And if so, what is the law regarding washing hands and meals on Shabbat and Yom Tov?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
According to the attached specification, there is only 8% flour in the product.
It is quite possible that such a small percentage does not contribute to the taste but is used for stabilization or other reasons, and one should taste and ascertain the reality. If indeed the grain does not contribute to the taste, the blessing over the product is 'shehakol', and one does not wash hands or recite the blessing after meals.
However, if it turns out that the grain contributes to the taste, the grain is not nullified, and one must wash hands and also recite 'hamotzi' and the blessing after meals.
