Terumot (“Required Donations of Agricultural Produce to Priestly Households”) is a tractate in Seder Zeraim (“Order of Seeds”) that discusses terumot and the sacred status of that produce. The tractate’s eleven chapters address details such as who is and is not qualified to separate terumah (singular of “terumot”), how to treat mixtures of forbidden and permitted produce, and permissible and prohibited ways of consuming terumah.
