I'm trying to write up a recipe by weight and include both the "cleaned" weight and the "uncleaned" weight. I can't find a good word for "uncleaned" and I'm hoping someone here knows one. "Raw" means "not cooked". "not cored or skinned" is awkward.
For example:
60 g celery, trimmed (start with 1 stalk, uncleaned)
70 g onion, skinned (start with 1/4 onion, uncleaned)
50 g granny smith apple, skinned and cored (start with 1/2 apple, uncleaned)
Is there such a word?

You don't need the "uncleaned" word there at all.
All of the qualitative amounts are just approximates, so "(about 1/4 onion)" works fine.
