Question:
Question regarding a spelt cake that I bought recently. They are cooked and appear just like rice cakes, but the only two ingredients are spelt and salt. Here is a link to it – https://www.koshercentral.com/grocery/health-gluten-free/organic-spelt/landau-spelt-cakes-salted-4-6z
Is the bracha rishona mezonos and achrona m’ein shalosh? If so, can one be קובע סעודה with it on Shabbos at kiddush?
Answer:
Since the spelt cakes were cooked and they stick to each other the bracha will be mezonos, and mein shalosh. Regarding kiddush they can be used as a mezonos in regard to kiddush b’makom seuda. (Since it is cooked it will not be a kevius seuda regarding having to bentch, therefore even if you ate a lot of it you won’t have to bentch)
