Reply To: did you make a shehecheyanu on carob?

From Shmais Web site:

It is questionable whether one says a Shehecheyanu when eating bokser, since it is inedible when fresh. One must wait until it hardens a bit before it becomes edible and then the new bokser is not any more distinguishable from older stock and thus would be similar to nuts upon which no Shehecheyanu is said (see Sefer Bircas HaShir Vehashevach for further elaboration).
