unsieved
Still containing lumps
Unsieved describes something that has not been passed through a sieve to separate fine particles from coarse ones or to remove lumps.
The term appears most often in cooking and baking contexts, where recipes may call for either sieved or unsieved flour, cocoa, or powdered sugar.
The recipe works fine with unsieved flour, just break up any visible clumps.
Unsieved ingredients retain their natural texture rather than being aerated or refined.
