Mishnayos Nedarim Perek 7 Mishnah 2

נדרים פרק ז׳ משנה ב׳

2

For one who vows that grain [dagan] is forbidden to him, it is prohibited to eat the dry cowpea, because, like grain, its final stage of production involves being placed in a pile; this is the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say: It is prohibited for him to partake of only the five species of grain: Wheat, barley, oats, spelt, and rye, as that is the connotation of the term dagan in the Torah. Rabbi Meir says: For one who vows that grain is forbidden to him, and therefore he will refrain from eating grain [tevua], it is prohibited for him to eat from only the five species of grain. However, for one who vows that grain is forbidden to him, and therefore he will refrain from eating grain [dagan], it is prohibited to eat all produce whose final stage of production involves being placed in a pile, e.g., dry cowpea, and it is permitted for him to eat fruits of the tree and vegetables.

הנודר מן הדגן אסור בכל – kinds of pulse ;hat they make of hem heaps/piles. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir.

אסור בפול המצרי יבש. דדגן כל מידי דמדגן משמע, כל דבר שעושין ממנו כרי, והא נמי מדגן הוא:

הנודר מן הדגן אסור בכל. מיני קטניות שעושין מהן כרי. ואין הלכה כרבי מאיר:
