Note
The ending -est does the grading here, as it does for most one-syllable adjectives, and it carries over every meaning raw has. The noun decides which one: the rawest tuna is the least cooked, the rawest ore the least processed, the rawest skin the most chafed, the rawest recruit the least experienced, the rawest draft the roughest. Where raw only names a kind, as in a raw diet, a superlative rarely makes sense.
