What brocho do you make on corn thins (like rice cakes, just made from corn instead of rice)?

1 If it is made from whole/complete/popped kernels stuck together then you would probably be correct however if it is ground into powder/flour first then it would be a shehakol - have not been able to confirm either way. - SJRJul 25 '12 at 19:06

@mogra - mezonos (if you are referring to the small yellow ones) - the problem here was not the ingredients as much as the process - SJRMar 12 '13 at 21:51

The bracha on corn thins, multi grain corn thins and soy crisps:

Both Corn and Soy are Ha'adoma when eaten whole and intact. And both become shehakol when processed into a flour. I believe corn thins and soy crisps are made in such a way that the grain is milled into a flour and then used to reform a chip - therefore they should be shehakol.

As far as the multigrain version is concerned. Does the multigrain version contain wheat, spelt, barley, oats or rye? If yes, and if there is a substantial amount (meaning it comes up as one of the first several ingredients) then it would be mezonot. If not, then shehakol.

1 "I believe corn thins and soy crisps are made in such a way that the grain is milled into a flour" - I have seen this online - would like a definite source not just someones opinion/beliefs - SJRJul 25 '12 at 22:01

1 I just discovered this on the website - A measured amount of pre-mixed grain is dropped into a mould. The mould is heated and the grain pops due to the high temperature of the mould. The popping grain can not escape and it fuses together in the circular shape of the mould that it is contained in. This is how the corn cakes are formed in the grain-popping machines. http://www.cornthins.com/prodMaking.aspx - SJRJul 25 '12 at 22:28

@SJR so is that Shehakol or Haadomah. Nice find by the way - deepThinkerJul 25 '12 at 22:35
