Any species of grain which was not made into bread such as cooked foods from flour or porridge, even though its not "bread" it still retains some importance and requires one to recite the brocha borei minei mezonot. if one happened to say the brocha of borei minei mezonot on bread by mistake one has discharges their obligation of reciting a brocha but some argue that he hasn't. With regards to blessings we are always lenient and when in doubt of what to say we go the lenient way.



If one said the brocha borei pri adama on fruit of the tree, one has discharged their obligation to recite a blessing on the food. If one recited the blessing borei pri ha'eitz on produce from the ground one hasn't discharged their obligation and the correct brocha must be recited. Any fruit/produce where we are unsure of what brocha to recite we would recite borei pri adama. If we don;t know what type of a food it is in general we would recite the brocha shehakol(due to a disagreement by the Rabbis.)
