Blessing over the Minority of Fruit
Question
I ate a fruit salad, the majority of which was of the kind of fruits that require the blessing of 'Borei Pri Ha'etz', and that is the blessing that I recited. At the end, a single banana remained, whose blessing is 'Borei Pri Ha'adamah'. I already finished eating all the fruit whose blessing is 'Borei Pri Ha'etz'. Do I need to recite a blessing now, since I am going to eat the banana separately, or not?
Answer
If a small amount remains, there is no need to recite a blessing over it, and it is exempted by the 'Borei Pri Ha'etz' blessing that you made over the main part of the salad at the beginning. And if a large amount of banana remains, you need to recite a blessing over it. The way to determine this is this: if you would eat the banana by itself and not because it remained on the plate, you need recite a blessing over it.
