dehusked
Stripped of covering
Dehusked means having had the husk removed.
Husks are the dry outer coverings of seeds, grains, or nuts—corn silk, rice chaff, coconut shells.
Dehusked rice or coconut has been processed to strip away this protective layer: dehusked oats cook faster than whole oats.
The word appears mainly in agricultural and food-processing contexts.
