What Bracha do you make on a Gum?

Bracha Rishona

Shehakol

View Bracha

The Bracha Rishona on Gum is Shehakol.

There is no brachah acharona on gum, since one does not consume a kezayis of food within the required time to recite Borei Nefashos. There is also a halachic debate regarding whether a brachah rishona  should be recited on gum at all.
