Mishnah for Oktzin 3:4

הַשֶּׁבֶת, מִשֶּׁנָּתַן טַעְמוֹ בַּקְּדֵרָה, אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם תְּרוּמָה, וְאֵינוֹ מִטַּמֵּא טֻמְאַת אֳכָלִים. לוּלְבֵי זְרָדִים וְשֶׁל עֲדָל וַעֲלֵי הַלּוּף הַשּׁוֹטֶה, אֵינָן מִטַּמְּאִין טֻמְאַת אֳכָלִים עַד שֶׁיִּמְתֹּקוּ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אַף שֶׁל פַּקּוּעוֹת כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶם:

The dill stalk, once it has given its flavor to a cooked dish, is no longer subject to [the requirement of separating] <i>terumah</i> [a portion of a crop given to a priest which becomes designated upon separation, and can only be consumed by priests or their household], and it cannot be rendered impure with the impurity of foods. The sprouting branches of hawthorn, and of garden-cress, and leaves of wild arum cannot be rendered impure with the impurity of foods until they are sweetened [to remove their bitterness]. Rabbi Shimon says: so too even regarding those [leaves] of the bitter-apple.
