Raw describes a material that is in its natural unprocessed form, or has not had the final stages of processing. For example, raw food refers to food that has not been cooked, and raw silk is the term for unprocessed silk. In American slang, raw may refer to a drug such as heroin or cocaine that is pure, or uncut. Raw also has symbolic meaning. See Claude Lévi-Strauss's The Raw and the Cooked
