Comentário sobre Terumot 10:5
תִּלְתָּן שֶׁנָּפְלָה לְתוֹךְ הַבּוֹר שֶׁל יַיִן, בִּתְרוּמָה, בְּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי, אִם יֵשׁ בַּזֶּרַע כְּדֵי לִתֵּן טַעַם, אֲבָל לֹא בָעֵץ. בִּשְׁבִיעִית וּבְכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ, אִם יֵשׁ בַּזֶּרַע וּבָעֵץ כְּדֵי לִתֵּן טָעַם:
Feno-grego que caiu em uma cuba de vinho, no [caso de] Terumah ou em Ma'aser Sheni [segundo dízimo, que deve ser comido em Jerusalém], se houver na semente o suficiente para conferir um sabor [mesmo] sem o talo, [é proibido]. Mas se foi no ano sabático produzir ou Kilayim [mistura proibida de duas espécies] da vinha, ou Hekdesh [doação consagrada], [é proibido] se houver sementes e caule o suficiente para dar um sabor.

Bartenura on Mishnah Terumot
אבל לא בעץ – even though that the taste of its stalk/tree and its fruit are equivalent, the tree does not combine with the fruit to prohibit the wine of unconsecrated produce, because the tree/stalk is not holy in heave-offering. But, [regarding] the Seventh Year and diverse seeds and that which is dedicated to the Temple, even the tree/stalk is prohibitd, for the stalk of fenugreek in wine provides a flavor to improve it.

English Explanation of Mishnah Terumot
Fenugreek which fell into a vat of wine:
If it was terumah or second tithe and there is in the seed alone without the stalk sufficient to impart a flavor [it is forbidden]. If the fenugreek which falls into the wine is of terumah or second tithe, then there needs to be enough fenugreek seed to impart flavor to the wine to make it prohibited. In this case we ignore the stalk. This is because the stalk of the fenugreek is not considered to be “kadosh” as far as terumah and second tithe are concerned only the seed is considered to be kadosh. Therefore, the stalk can’t cause the wine to be prohibited.

English Explanation of Mishnah Terumot
But if it was seventh year produce or mixed seeds in vineyards, or dedicated produce, [it is forbidden] if in both seed and stalk there is sufficient to impart a flavor. However, when it comes to fenugreek that grew in the seventh year, or grew in a vineyard, or was dedicated to the Temple, in all of these cases the laws apply to the stalks the same way that they apply to the seeds. Therefore, if the stalks and seeds together impart a taste, then the wine takes on the laws of the fenugreek. If the fenugreek was seventh year produce, then the wine must be treated as seventh year wine and it can be drunk only while grapes are found in the field. If the fenugreek is from mixed seeds, then the wine is prohibited. If it was dedicated to the Temple, then the wine too must be given to the Temple.
