Demai (דמאי, lit. "Doubtful Produce") is the third tractate of Seder Zeraim ("Order of Seeds") of the Mishnah and of the Talmud. It is concerned mainly with laws related to produce where one is not sure if it has been properly tithed of their produce that Jews are required to reserve for the poor, or the levite families in accordance with . It consists of seven chapters and has Gemara from only the Jerusalem Talmud. Like most of the other tractates from Zeraim, the rabbis who redacted the Babylonian Talmud evidently did not see a reason to discuss these laws as they only apply if one lives in the Land of Israel.
