הָיָה עוֹשֶׂה בִלְבָסִים, לֹא יֹאכַל בִּבְנוֹת שֶׁבַע. בִּבְנוֹת שֶׁבַע, לֹא יֹאכַל בִּלְבָסִים. אֲבָל מוֹנֵעַ הוּא אֶת עַצְמוֹ עַד שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ לִמְקוֹם הַיָּפוֹת וְאוֹכֵל. הַמַּחֲלִיף עִם חֲבֵרוֹ, זֶה לֶאֱכֹל וְזֶה לֶאֱכֹל, זֶה לִקְצוֹת וְזֶה לִקְצוֹת, זֶה לֶאֱכֹל וְזֶה לִקְצוֹת, חַיָּב. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, הַמַּחֲלִיף לֶאֱכֹל, חַיָּב, וְלִקְצוֹת, פָּטוּר:

If [a hired worker is] working among bad figs, he may not eat of white figs. If among white figs, he may not eat of bad figs, but must restrain himself until he reaches the place of the better figs, and [there] he may eat. If a man exchanges with his friend, either [figs] to be eaten for [figs] to be eaten, or [figs] to be dried for [figs] to be dried, or [figs] to be eaten for [figs] to be dried, then he is required [to give tithes]. Rabbi Yehudah says: one who exchanges for [figs] to be eaten is required, but [for figs] to be dried is exempt.

Tosefta Maasrot

One who buys dried figs with the intention of pressing them [into fig cakes], [or] dates with the intention of making them into honey -- Rabbi Meir says, he may not eat from them casually or tithe them as Demai, and the Sages say, he may eat from the casually and tithe them as Demai. Rabbi Meir concedes to the Sages that one who takes ears of corn with the intention of processing them, [or] grapes with the intention of making wine from them, [or] olives with the intention of making oil from them, he may eat from them casually, and the Sages concede to Rabbi Meir that with [respect to] fruits, which do not need to 'finish their work' [to become liable for tithes (see Maasr. 2:4)], that he should not eat from them casually.
