raw cotton
Pre-ginned plant fluff
Raw cotton is cotton as it comes from the plant, before processing removes seeds, dirt, and other impurities.
The fluffy white bolls are harvested and compressed into bales for transport to textile mills, where they're cleaned, carded, and spun into thread.
The warehouse stored thousands of bales of raw cotton.
