הָיוּ לְפָנָיו מִינִים הַרְבֵּה, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אִם יֵשׁ בֵּינֵיהֶם מִמִּין שִׁבְעָה, מְבָרֵךְ עָלָיו. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, מְבָרֵךְ עַל אֵיזֶה מֵהֶם שֶׁיִּרְצֶה:

If there were before him many species, R. Yehudah says: If any of the seven species [wheat, barley, grape, fig, pomegranate, olive, date] were among them, he blesses upon them (first). [These take precedence, Eretz Yisrael having been graced with them.] The sages say: He blesses on whichever he wishes, [personal taste taking precedence. The halachah is in accordance with the sages.]
