sulfured

Treated with brimstone

Sulfured describes something that has been treated or combined with sulfur.

Dried fruits are often sulfured to preserve their color and extend shelf life, though some people prefer unsulfured varieties for health or taste reasons.

The term also applies to materials processed with sulfur compounds, such as sulfured molasses, which retains some of the mineral content from sugar processing.
