Kommentar zu Oktzin 2:7
עֲלֵי יְרָקוֹת יְרֻקִּים, מִצְטָרְפִין. וּלְבָנִים, אֵינָן מִצְטָרְפִין. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בַּר צָדוֹק אוֹמֵר, הַלְּבָנִים מִצְטָרְפִים בַּכְּרוּב, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן אֹכֶל. וּבַחֲזָרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן מְשַׁמְּרִין אֶת הָאֹכֶל:
Die grünen Blätter des Gemüses verbinden sich [mit dem Gemüse, um das Maß für die Verunreinigung zu berücksichtigen], und die weißen Blätter verbinden sich nicht. Rabbi Elazar Bar Tzaddok sagt: Die weißen Kohlpflanzen verbinden sich, da sie essbar sind; und so auch von Salaten, da sie den essbaren Teil bewahren.

If the outer leaves are green, they are still edible and therefore they are included as part of the vegetable. Once they have whitened, they are no longer part and are not included.
