unconsumed

Left over, untouched

Unconsumed describes something that remains uneaten, unburned, or otherwise unused.

Food left unconsumed on the plate, fuel unconsumed by the fire, resources unconsumed by industry.

The word appears most often in contexts where consumption was expected or possible but didn't happen: The unconsumed portions were donated to a shelter.
