unmilled

Still in grains

Unmilled describes grain or other material that has not been processed through a mill.

Unmilled wheat retains its bran and germ, unlike refined flour.

The term applies to anything typically subjected to milling but left in its natural state: unmilled rice, unmilled lumber.

It suggests rawness or lack of refinement.
