What is the Bracha on Moringa Leaves?

 

Question:

There is a tree called a Moringa Tree and it’s leaves are extremely healthy and also edible.

I was wondering what the Bracha of it would be, haeitz or haadamah as they are just leaves and if your eating it for health if there would even be a bracha from the beginning?

 

Answer:

If the purpose of planting the tree is for the leaves, the bracha Haadama should be recited. If not, Shehakol.

 

ראה שו״ע אדה״ז רב, ב. משנ״ב רב בשעה״צ מא בשם הברכ״י.
