What is the amount I have to eat to make an Al Hamichya?

Question:

what is the amount I have to make an Al Hamichya on (and if it is a Hebrew measurement around what size is that)?

 

Answer:

 The amount of food from the five grains that one has to say Al Hamichya is what is called a k’zayis- lit. an olive’s worth in size. It is approximately and ounce worth. It is also the approximate size of a small shot glass or a golf ball.

Best wishes
