S. It is explained in the Mishnah (Shevi'it 8:1) and ruled by the Rambam (Shemittah 5:1) that Shemitah fruits were given for eating, drinking, anointing, kindling a lamp, and dyeing, and to eat something in the manner in which it is normally eaten, etc. From here it is clear that it is permitted to eat Shemitah fruits only in their usual manner of eating.
