Eating fruit while picking

Question:

My son is at a Moshav and they are getting a tour and the tour guide said that they could pick off the trees and the vegetables while they are walking around. Do they have to take off to terumos and maasros?

Answer:

It is true. We do not have to take off terumos u’ma’asros while a fruit is still in the field, if the picking and are done in a specific way. The fruits should not be put into a bag of a basket, but they may pick a single fruit off and eat it. After that they may pick another one off and eat it.
