Mishnah for Oktzin 2:1

זֵיתִים שֶׁכְּבָשָׁן בְּטַרְפֵיהֶן, טְהוֹרִים, לְפִי שֶׁלֹּא כְבָשָׁן אֶלָּא לְמַרְאֶה. כְּשׁוּת שֶׁל קִשּׁוּת וְהַנֵּץ שֶׁלָּהּ, טְהוֹרָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, כָּל זְמַן שֶׁהִיא לִפְנֵי הַתַּגָּר, טְמֵאָה:

Regarding olives which one pickled together with their leaves, they [i.e. the leaves] are pure [and are not considered to serve as handles or to preserve the fruit], for they were pickled only for the sake of appearance. The fibers on a zucchini and its flower are pure. Rabbi Yehudah says: so long as it is before the merchant [selling it], it is impure.
