shucked
Stripped of covering
Shucked means removed from a shell or husk.
Oysters are shucked before eating; corn is shucked before cooking.
The past tense works as an adjective: shucked oysters, shucked corn.
Figuratively, to shuck something is to discard it like a shell: She shucked her old identity when she moved west.
