unpeeled

Rind still attached

Unpeeled describes something, usually a fruit or vegetable, that still has its skin or rind intact: Throw some unpeeled garlic cloves into the roasting pan.

The word implies the peel could be removed but hasn't been—you wouldn't call a banana unpeeled while it's still on the tree.
