Food products consist of an edible part and what is not eaten. The latter are the subject of the tractate Uktzin (“Stalks”), considered one of the most obscure texts of the Mishnah. It discusses the laws governing the transmission of ritual impurity by food susceptible to impurity, focusing mainly on various inedible elements of fruits and vegetables. It defines which of these parts are susceptible to impurity, which transmit impurity, and which combine with the edible parts to form the size of an egg—the minimum amount of food sufficient to transmit impurity. The purpose of this article is to introduce Polish readers to the subject matter of this tractate.
