Question:
After bracha for soup with mini Mandela (croutons) Do a handful require an Al hamichya
Answer:
I can’t really answer you, as I don’t know how full your hand was , nor how big it is. I would advise you to either buy or read the sefer called “Halachos of Kzayis” by Rabbi Pinchos Bodner. It has 100’s of pictures and practical measurements for what is a kzayis. (Although he doesn’t talk about mandel’s.) As a side point in order to make an Al hamichya. You would have to have eaten the kzayis within 4-5 minutes, otherwise you wouldn’t say any bracha achronal on it.
Best wishes
