sulphured

Treated with brimstone

Sulphured means treated or preserved with sulphur (sulfur).

Dried fruits are often sulphured to prevent browning and extend shelf life: sulphured apricots, unsulphured molasses.

The process involves exposure to sulphur dioxide gas.

Sulphured is the British spelling; American English uses sulfured.
