Commentary for Shabbat 228:1

כי הוינא בבבל הוה אמרי הא דתניא יוה"כ שחל להיות ע"ש לא היו תוקעין ובמוצאי שבת לא היו מבדילין דברי הכל היא כי סליקנא להתם אשכחיתיה ליהודה בריה דרבי שמעון בן פזי דיתיב וקאמר ר' עקיבא היא דאי רבי ישמעאל כיון דאמר חלבי שבת קריבין ביום הכיפורים ליתקע כי היכי דליהוי ידעי דחלבי שבת קריבין ביום הכיפורים ואמינא ליה אנא כהנים זריזין הן

Tosafot on Shabbat

Rather for trimming vegetables: It seems to R[abbenu] Y[itzchok] that [this verse is used here] as a support [for a Rabbinic enactment], for if it is [prohibited] by Torah, it would be prohibited on Yom Kippur as well.  Even though it says in Chapter Klal Gadol (73b) "one who trims beets is liable twice", there it referring to [beets that are] attached [to the ground].  Here it is referring to harvested [vegetables], as Rashi explained. This is also not similar to what is said in Chapter Klal Gadol (74b) "One who minces beets is liable for [transgressing the Melachah of] Grinding", because there he is making very fine pieces whereas here he is making large pieces.
