Unprocessed

Answer:

RAW

Hint:

Think of how food might be described before it's cooked or refined—like milk straight from the farm or data before analysis.

Explanation:

"Unprocessed" directly hints at something in its natural, untreated state, which is exactly what "raw" means. The word can describe food (like raw vegetables), data (unrefined information), or even emotions (unfiltered feelings). It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay—just a clear match between clue and answer.
