unstrained
Naturally at ease
Unstrained describes something not subjected to straining or filtering: unstrained yogurt retains its whey, unlike Greek yogurt.
More commonly, unstrained means free from tension or effort—natural and relaxed: unstrained laughter, an unstrained friendship.
The word emphasizes ease, whether in food preparation or human relations.
