#16 - Brocho when drinking unflavored Metamusil solution

Question

Dear Rabbi,

Does one make a Brocho

when drinking unflavored Metamusil solution as it does not provide any

nourishment?

Isaac

Answer

Dear Isaac,

Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a is of the opinion that you do make a Shehakol

even though there is no nourishment, simply because of the water that the

product is dissolved in and it is also seen as food. Was it to be only pure

fibber (as in inedible wood cellulose), no Brochoh would be required as it is

not food.

Rabbi A. Bartfeld, as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a
