Responsa for Challah 3:10

הַנּוֹטֵל שְׂאֹר מֵעִסַּת חִטִּים וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ עִסַּת אֹרֶז, אִם יֶשׁ בָּהּ טַעַם דָּגָן חַיֶּבֶת בַּחַלָּה. וְאִם לָאו, פְּטוּרָה. אִם כֵּן, לָמָּה אָמְרוּ הַטֶּבֶל אוֹסֵר כָּל שֶׁהוּא, מִין בְּמִינוֹ. וְשֶׁלֹּא בְמִינוֹ, בְּנוֹתֵן טָעַם:

One who takes leaven from dough of wheat [flour] and puts it into dough of rice [flour]: if it has the taste of grain, it is obligated in <i>Challah</i>; if not, it is exempt. If so, why did they say: “Untithed produce of any amount renders food prohibited”? That is [with regard to a mixture of] a kind with its own kind, but [with regard to a mixture of a kind] not with its own kind, [rather] only when it imparts taste.
