Täisväärtuslik

Täisväärtuslik is an Estonian adjective that translates to "full-value," "complete," or "whole" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts to describe something that possesses all its essential components or qualities, lacking nothing in terms of completeness or worth.

In nutritional contexts, täisväärtuslik is frequently applied to food products, particularly grains. Täisväärtuslikud teraviljad, or whole grains, refer to those that retain all parts of the original grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. This contrasts with refined grains, which have had the bran and germ removed, leading to a loss of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Consuming täisväärtuslikud teraviljad is generally considered healthier due to their higher nutrient content.

Beyond food, the term can also describe financial instruments or assets that are considered sound and complete, with no outstanding liabilities or deficiencies. For instance, a täisväärtuslik aktsia would represent a stock with its full inherent value. In a more general sense, täisväärtuslik can simply mean that something is fully developed, perfected, or satisfactory in its entirety, without any compromise or deficit.
