Talmud for Eduyot 3:3

מְעֵי אֲבַטִּיחַ וּקְנִיבַת יָרָק שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, רַבִּי דוֹסָא מַתִּיר לְזָרִים, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין. חָמֵשׁ רְחֵלוֹת גְּזוּזוֹת מָנֶה מָנֶה וּפְרַס, חַיָּבוֹת בְּרֵאשִׁית הַגֵּז, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, חָמֵשׁ רְחֵלוֹת כָּל שֶׁהֵן:

R. Dossa permits the innards [i.e., the seeds and the juice] of a melon and the discards of greens (of terumah) to zarim (non-Cohanim), and the sages forbid them. The shearings of five lambs, [each lamb] yielding a maneh and a half of wool, [less than that not being considered "shearings," this being the minimum] are subject to the mitzvah of "the first of the shearings" — These are the words of R. Dossa. The sages say: five lambs, any amount (of shearings). [Not really, for the rabbis did not mandate "the first of the shearings" for less than sixty selaim. But since R. Dossa required a (relatively) large amount, the tanna called the small amount of the sages "any amount." (The weight of a sela is twenty-four ma'im, and the weight of each ma'ah, sixteen barley grains.)]

Jerusalem Talmud Terumot

There86Mishnah Idiut 3:3, Tosephta 10:2., we have stated: “The center parts of water melon and what is cleaned from vegetables of heave, Rebbi Dosa permits to laymen but the Sages forbid.” Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: They taught that only for what is cleaned from vegetables of gardeners87Since they clean large quantities of vegetables for the market, they will find a use for the leaves taken off. If they are of heave, they do not lose their status. But in private households, the cleanings of vegetables are garbage and garbage of heave is profane (R. Abraham ben David, Commentary to Sifra Šemini Pereq 4:2.). But for what is cleaned from vegetables of private people, even the rabbis will agree. Rebbi Abun asked: Is it not reasonable that this refers only to the Great Heave, but for heave of the tithe88Which has to be exactly 10%. Therefore, the leaves to be discarded never were sanctified as heave and the Sages agree with R. Dosa in that case. torn-off leaves do not count for leaves, neither do torn-off stems for stems?
