pelleted
Shaped into balls
Pelleted describes something formed into pellets—small, compressed, rounded pieces.
Animal feed is often pelleted for easier handling and consumption: pelleted rabbit food, pelleted fertilizer.
Seeds may be pelleted with a coating to improve planting.
In hunting, pelleted refers to ammunition containing shot: pelleted shotgun shells.
