Answer 1

Minimally processed

Step-by-step explanation:

Foods are said to be minimally processed when they undergo a little treatment so as to preserve them. These treatments might involve the application of heat, drying, and refrigeration so as to preserve them before consumption. Most fresh-cut fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy products, etc., fall under this range.

These kind of foods still contain a good amount of their nutrients as their original content are not lost due to excessive processing.
