הַקַּלִּין שֶׁבַּדְּמַאי, הַשִּׁיתִין, וְהָרִימִין וְהָעֻזְרָדִין, וּבְנוֹת שׁוּחַ, וּבְנוֹת שִׁקְמָה, וְנוֹבְלוֹת הַתְּמָרָה, וְהַגֻּפְנִין, וְהַנִּצְפָּה. וּבִיהוּדָה, הָאוֹג, וְהַחֹמֶץ שֶׁבִּיהוּדָה, וְהַכֻּסְבָּר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, כָּל הַשִּׁיתִין פְּטוּרִין, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל דּוּפְרָה. כָּל הָרִימִין פְּטוּרִין, חוּץ מֵרִימֵי שִׁקְמוֹנָה. כָּל בְּנוֹת שִׁקְמָה פְּטוּרוֹת, חוּץ מִן הַמֻּסְטָפוֹס:

These are those which we are lenient with <i>Demai</i> [produce from which it is uncertain if tithes were already taken]: wild figs, the fruit of the lotus, crab apples, white figs, fruit of the sycamore, stunted dates, dill, and capers; and in Judea, the sumac, Judean vinegar, and coriander. Rabbi Yehudah says, “All the wild figs are exempt except for those that bear twice a year; all the lotus fruits are exempt except for the lotus fruit from Shikmonah; all the sycamore fruits are exempt except for those that have been burst open.”

Tosefta Demai

These are the leniencies with Demai (uncertainly tithed produce): wild figs, the fruit of the lotus, and azerole are presumed exempt in every place (cf. Dem. 1:1). But if they were watched over, they are liable [as Demai]. If [they happen to also be watched over by virtue of] someone protecting his field (i.e, where they happen to have grown), they are exempt. Rabbi Yosei says, wild figs from Tzipporin are liable [as Demai] because they are watched over. Rabbi Yosei son of Rabbi Yehudah says, unripe dates that are sold along with [ripe] dates are liable. And the sages say, until they begin to ripen [lit. "to leaven"] they are exempt, [but] from [the time that] they begin to ripen they are liable.
