הַבּוֹרֵר קִטְנִית בְּיוֹם טוֹב, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, בּוֹרֵר אֹכֶל וְאוֹכֵל. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, בּוֹרֵר כְּדַרְכּוֹ בְּחֵיקוֹ, בְּקָנוֹן וּבְתַמְחוּי, אֲבָל לֹא בְטַבְלָא וְלֹא בְנָפָה וְלֹא בִכְבָרָה. רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אַף מֵדִיחַ וְשׁוֹלֶה:

If one picks out peas on yom tov — Beth Shammai say: He picks the food and eats it [He picks the food (the peas) one by one from the psoleth (the non-edible parts)], and Beth Hillel say: He picks out (the psoleth) in the normal manner on his lap, in a reed basket, or in a tray, [so long as the exertion of picking out the psoleth is not greater (than that of picking out the food); but if it is greater (as when the psoleth is especially thin), even if there is more food than psoleth, Beth Hillel agree that he picks out the food and leaves the psoleth, reduction of exertion being the prime criterion.]; but he may not (pick it out) on the table, with a sifter, or with a sieve. R. Gamliel says: He may also rinse them and pick it (the psoleth) out (sholeh). [He brings a vessel full of peas, pours water on them, the psoleth rises to the surface, and he removes it with his hand. "sholeh," as in (Exodus 3:5): "Remove (shal) your shoes." The halachah is not in accordance with R. Gamliel.]

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

If he picks legumes on the holiday, R. Yehuda says: The House of Shammai says: If the pebbles outweigh the edible ones, then he picks out the edible ones and leaves the pebbles lying around; but the House of Hillel says he reads what he wants.
