A [[sugya]] of the Talmud in [[Berakhot (tractate)|''Berkahot'']] 35a states that food ultimately belongs to God, and that to partake of it legitimately one must express gratitudeby reciting the appropriate blessing beforehand. There are six blessings said before eating different foods: Birkat Hamotzi (bread); Borei Minei Mezonot ([[five species of grain]]); [[Borei Pri HaGafen]] (wine and grapes); [[Borei Pri Ha'etz]] (fruits and vegetables); [[Borei Pri Ha'adamah]] (vegetables), and [[Shehakol]] (unspecified foods), according to [[Berakhot (tractate)|Tractate Berakhot]] 6:1. |

Additionally, there are five blessings said after eating different foods: [[Birkat Hamazon]], Al Hamihya, Al Hagefen, Al Ha'etz and [[Borei Nefashot]]. These blessings, however, are only required if a certain predefined amount ([[kezayit]] for a solid food, and [[Biblical and Talmudic units of measurement#Volume|revi'it]] for a liquid) is consumed within a predefined time period (different for solids and liquids). |
