Los "mangos" de todos los alimentos que se trillaron en el piso de la trilla están limpios. El rabino Yose los declara inmundos. Una ramita de vid que él despojó está limpia. Si dejó una uva, es inmundo. Una ramita de una fecha que despojaron está limpia. Si dejó una cita, no está limpio. Lo mismo con los frijoles: si pelaron las ramitas, está limpio. Pero si dejó una vaina de frijoles, no está limpia. El rabino Elazar ben Azariah declara limpio [el tallo] de las habas, pero declara inmundo el tallo de otras habas, ya que desea su uso.
Bartenura on Mishnah Oktzin
שבססן (tread, stamped/packed in the barn/threshing floor) – that he threshed them with the feet of the animal or with sticks/staffs with the grain. And [the word] "ובססן" is the language of (Isaiah 63:18): “Which Your holy people possessed but a little while.”

English Explanation of Mishnah Oktzin
Stalks of all foods that have been threshed on the threshing-floor are clean. Rabbi Yose declares them unclean. Once produce has been threshed, the edible part has been detached from the stalk. Therefore the stalks no longer serve as handles and they are clean meaning they are not susceptible to impurity. Rabbi Yose disagrees and says that they are still susceptible.

English Explanation of Mishnah Oktzin
A sprig of a vine when stripped of its grapes is clean, but if one grape alone is left on it, it is unclean. A twig of a date-tree stripped of its dates is clean, but if one date remains on it, it is unclean. Similarly, with beans, if the pods were stripped from the stem it is clean, but if even one pod alone remains, it is unclean. Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah declares [the stalk] of the broad bean clean, but declares unclean the stalk of other beans, since it is of use when [the pulse] is handled. There are three sections here that all basically teach the same thing. Once a grape, date or bean has been removed from that which was holding it, the handle is no longer a handle and it is pure. Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah agrees with most of these scenarios but disagrees with regard to the stalk of most types of pulse since these are used when the pulse is picked up.

Bartenura on Mishnah Oktzin
ומטמא של קטניות - for it is a protection, because they are thin and one is not able to pick at them when they are combined with chips/refuse, and it is appropriate for it that they would be on the same twig in order to be able to handle them and to carry them on that twig. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah.
