Surface Forms
Morphology
unsifted = sifted (transparent) = un + sift + ed
Formed by negating the adjectival/past-participle 'sifted' with productive English 'un-', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not sifted'.
Etymology
Unsifted breaks into un- ('not') and sift ('to pass through a sieve'). So unsifted flour or sugar has not been put through a sieve to remove lumps, giving a denser or heavier texture.
