What are the food blessings?

Judaism has a short blessing for each category of food: bread, grain products, wine, fruit of the tree, fruit of the ground, and everything else. Each is one sentence. The idea is that nothing is taken from the world without first acknowledging where it came from.

Why it matters

A blessing is a pause. Three seconds between reaching and eating is enough to notice the food, the hunger and the gift. People who say brachot describe eating more slowly and more gratefully, which is a quiet kind of mindfulness built into Jewish life.
