Until When Can One Recite the Blessing After Eating?
Question
Hello, is there a time period after consuming certain foods during which one may recite the blessing known as Ma'ain Shelosh? Thank you.
Answer
Greetings,
You may recite the blessing as long as you are still full from the meal, up to six hours; however, if you only ate a kazayit of certain foods, less than a full satisfaction, you may recite it only within seventy-two minutes.

Best regards,
Hillel Meirs
