Tosefta sur Le Lévitique 19:10
וְכַרְמְךָ֙ לֹ֣א תְעוֹלֵ֔ל וּפֶ֥רֶט כַּרְמְךָ֖ לֹ֣א תְלַקֵּ֑ט לֶֽעָנִ֤י וְלַגֵּר֙ תַּעֲזֹ֣ב אֹתָ֔ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
Tu ne grappilleras point dans ta vigne, et tu ne recueilleras point les grains épars de ta vigne. Abandonne-les au pauvre et à l’étranger: je suis l’Éternel votre Dieu.
Tosefta Peah
[There are] four gifts [for the poor] from the vineyards: Peret (i.e., grapes that fall during harvesting, see Lev. 19:10, Peah 7:3), forgotten sheaves (Deut. 24:19), peah (Lev. 23:22), and olelet (i.e., defective clusters, see Lev. 19:10, Peah 7:4). [There are] three [gifts for the poor] from field-produce: Gleanings (Lev. 19:9), forgotten sheaves, and peah. [There are] two [gifts for the poor] from fruit trees: forgotten sheaves and peah. [And as to] all of these, they should not [be given as] a favor, and [others] can even take [gifts for the poor given as a favor] from a Jewish poor person from his hand (i.e., since it does not lawfully belong to him in the first place). And [as to] the remainder of the priestly gifts, such as the shankbone and the jawbone and the rough-stomach (see Deut. 18:3), these may be [given as] a favor. And we give [these] to every Kohen that desires [them].

Tosefta Peah
What is "leket" (=gleanings)? That which falls down at the time of harvesting or of plucking (cf. Peah 4:10). Rabbi Yosei says, "There are no gleanings but that which falls down at the time of harvesting only," as it says (Lev. 19:10), "[you shall not] gather the gleanings ("leket") of your harvest."
