unfermented
Without yeast action
Unfermented describes something that has not undergone fermentation—the process where sugars break down into alcohol or acids.
Unfermented grape juice remains sweet rather than becoming wine.
Unfermented dough hasn't risen with yeast.
The term appears in food contexts and religious discussions where fermented and unfermented substances carry different significance: unfermented bread, unfermented cider.
