I live in a very dry climate - that might account for why the pulp sheds 
did take 10-15 minutes to totally soften.  Again, that could be why mine 
were so very dusty.  I used them for about a year before getting fed up 
with the dust and the fact that shreds are not as easy to scoop as pellets 
are.

I've tried to get my feed store to order pellets without molasses, but 
price and all the customers combined wishes dictate what they will buy, not 
the request of one customer.  I am not, however, concerned about the 
relatively small amount of molasses that my horses ingest with the pellets.
