pellet
Compressed food bit
A pellet is a small, rounded mass of compressed material.
Animal food often comes in pellets.
Guns may fire pellets—small projectiles of metal or plastic.
The word extends to any small ball-shaped object: owl pellets (regurgitated indigestible matter), pellets of bread, pellets of ice.
To pellet is to form into pellets or to strike with them.
