It is permissible L’chatchila<\/b> (initially), and there is no prohibition of Threshing<\/b> (Disha<\/i>) involved.<\/p>\n
The Eglei Tal<\/b> defines the prohibition of Threshing<\/b> as applying only to an act that is not characteristic of the normal way of eating; in such a case, the act of separation is viewed as a “completion of work,” which is the essence of Threshing<\/b>.<\/p>\n
However, regarding a fruit where the normal practice before eating is to remove its leaves or stem, this is permitted\u2014provided it does not involve the prohibition of Sorting<\/b> (Borer<\/i>), such as a situation where there is a mixture of “food” and “waste.” In this case, each part is distinct and recognizable on its own. Therefore, we permit cracking the shell of a nut, as this is the standard way of eating it\u2014bringing it to the table while in its shell and cracking it during the course of the meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-17496","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
