Skinnfria

Skinnfria is a Swedish adjective meaning skin-free or without skin. It describes the absence of skin on an object or body part. The term is not part of an official classification or regulation; rather, it appears in everyday language, product descriptions, and some technical or descriptive texts.

The word is a compound of skinn (skin) and fri (free). It is used to indicate that skin has been removed or is not present. In practice, writers often substitute more common phrases such as utan skal or skalad when talking about foods, while skinnfria is more likely to appear in descriptive or label-like contexts. In medical or anatomical writing, skinnfria may describe surfaces or areas where the epidermis is absent, though this usage is descriptive rather than a formal medical term.

Examples of usage can be found in culinary labeling for products that have been peeled or skinless, such as skinnfria äpplen or skinnfria fiskfiléer. In many contexts, however, speakers and writers opt for clearer phrases like utan skal or hudfri, depending on the audience and purpose.

Because skinnfria is not a standardized term, its usage can vary by region, publication, or discipline. For precise communication, it is common to replace it with more explicit phrasing that specifies the absence of skin for the particular item or context.
