nieprzemylana

Nieprzemylana is a Polish adjective describing material that has not been subjected to milling or grinding. It is used in agricultural, culinary, and industrial contexts to refer to grains, seeds, or other products that remain in their whole, unprocessed form. The term emphasizes that the item has not been milled to produce flour, meal, or other processed forms.

Etymology and form: The word is derived from the verb przemielać (to mill, to grind) with the negating prefix nie-. The ending -ana marks a feminine singular participial/adjective form. In standard Polish, the closely related form is nieprzemielana; the spelling nieprzemylana appears in some uses, but the meaning remains “not milled.”

Usage: Nieprzemylana is most often found in descriptions of grain quality or processing stages. For example, nieprzemielone/nieprzemielana ziarna refers to whole grains that have not been milled, while nieprzemielona mąka would denote flour produced from prior milling that has not yet been ground. The term helps distinguish unprocessed, whole products from milled or ground counterparts.

See also: Milling, przemielić, mąka, ziarno, zboża, cały produkt zbożowy, całe ziarno.

Note: Polish also has similar-looking forms such as nieprzemyślana, which means ill-considered or poorly thought out, but these are unrelated in meaning to nieprzemylana. The article focuses on the milled/not-milled sense of the term.
