Reference for Shabbat 267:1
חספניתא מאי תקנתיה לימשי טובא במיא דסילקא:
What is his remedy? Let him wash it well in beet juice.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Or, water in which vegetables were thoroughly boiled. ');"><sup>1</sup></span> IF ONE DID NOT CRUSH [IT] ON THE EVE OF THE SABBATH. Our Rabbis taught: The things which may not be done for circumcision on the Sabbath may be done on Festivals: cummin may be crushed, and wine and oil may be beaten up together on its account. Abaye asked R. Joseph: Wherein does [the powdering of] cummin on Festivals differ? [presumably] because it can be used in a dish?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence since it is permitted for this purpose, it is permitted for circumcision too. ');"><sup>2</sup></span>
