If you like, I can do an experiment. :) I have both shreds and some old pellets on hand.
I know that when I was using the pellets, I had to shift from using a coffee can to using a 1/3 cup scoop. :)
I have a food scale that I use to weigh out all my concentrates. I weighed my dry shreds - took up about a coffee can or so. Then I measured the same weight in pellets - took about 1/3 cup. When I finished soaking, I had as much as I normally did with the shreds. Still, it was a while ago, so I can re-run the experiment if anybody is interested..

Hey, I don't use pellets. This is just what people tell me. But the pound of pellets takes up less space, they say, so you can store more pounds iper container, and because they are denser, they expand larger than the pound of shreds when put in water. Pellet users - Is this correct?
This reminds me of the joke, which weighs more, a pound of rocks or a pound of feathers. A pound is a pound, right? How can a pound of pellets end up yielding more than a pound of shreds? Add a half-gallon of water to each, soak overnight and you still have a pound of beet pulp and a half-gallon of water.
