rindless

Lacking outer covering

Rindless means having no rind—the tough outer layer of certain foods.

Rindless bacon has had its outer edge trimmed away.

Rindless cheese lacks the hardened exterior that forms during aging: a wedge of rindless brie.

The term appears almost exclusively in food contexts.
