Tosefta for Bava Metzia 178:7
אהייא אילימא אסיפא כיון דקצץ כל היכי דבעי ליכול אלא לאו ארישא
is because he [thereby] makes the fruit tasteful, what tastefulness is there [acquired by crushing them] on a rock? — [No; the reasoning is incorrect,] because it is impossible for it not to become slightly [more] tasteful.
Tosefta Maasrot
Workers that were hoeing among the fig trees or picking dates or harvesting olives -- they may eat and are exempt, since the Torah gave them permission (see Deut. 23:25-26). [But] they may not dip [the figs or olives] in salt and eat unless the homeowner gave them permission, and they may not eat them with bread unless the the homeowner gave them permission.
