unroasted

Still pale, green

Unroasted describes something that has not been roasted—most often coffee beans or nuts still in their raw state before heat processing: unroasted almonds, unroasted green coffee beans.

The term appears in cooking and food sourcing contexts where the distinction matters for flavor, preparation, or shelf life.
