jauhettunutta

Jauhettunutta is a Finnish term used to describe a substance that has been ground into powder. It is an adjective-form derived from the verb jauhaa (to grind) and is commonly found in cooking, food labeling, and descriptive text to indicate the state of an ingredient.

In practical use, jauhettunutta often appears in phrases that describe quantities or portions of ground ingredients. Examples include “jauhettunutta kahvia” (ground coffee) or “jauhettunutta paprikaa” (ground paprika) in recipes or product descriptions. The form is typically chosen to align with the case required by the rest of the sentence, for instance when the noun is in partitive or genitive.

The word is closely related to simpler forms such as jauhettu (ground) and to compound expressions used in everyday language. While many everyday recipes may also use the shorter variants, jauhettunutta provides a precise indication that the ingredient has been ground to a powder rather than used in whole or as a coarse grind.

Notes on usage and style vary by context. In many food-labels and commercial texts, more specific terms like tomusokeri (powdered sugar) or paprikajauhe (paprika powder) are common, but jauhettunutta remains a valid descriptive option in prose and informal writing when describing ground ingredients.
