A '''Pellet''' is a nutrition-packed, crystallized [[nectar]] that contains vitamins and other nutrition. Pellets are used to produce [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by bringing them to the onion, and are the main source of seeds at the start of the games, as large creatures require many Pikmin to kill safely. Pellets come in four sizes, and each one produces a different amount of Pikmin. If the color of the Pellet (numbered 1 only) matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is brought to, more Pikmin are produced. At 5, 10 and 20, if brought to the same colored Onion, there will be 5, 10 and 20 Pikmin produced. If not, half of the weight of the Pellet, rounded up, is the amount of Pikmin produced. The number on the Pellet represents its weight. They are found on the top of the [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground. Certain creatures of the [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin World]] also leave Pellets as spoils at times; they have presumably eaten Pellets, which could indicate the possibility that the same creatures are omnivores, if not herbivores.

==Destination==
When carrying Pellets, the number shown indicates the color of [[Onion]] that is the item's destination; this can change if the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] carrying it are removed or others added. When a Pellet in such a situation is carried, the majority of [[Red Pikmin|Red-]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow-]] or [[Blue Pikmin]] decides its destination. When there is an equal majority of Pikmin of two or more of these types, the destination is based on the total number of Purple and White Pikmin. This is the case, therefore, when only [[White Pikmin|White]] or [[Purple Pikmin]] are carrying the Pellet, since the other type carriers are all equally zero.
In these cases, if just one Purple or White Pikmin is carrying an object, it will be taken to the Red Onion; if two are carrying it, it will go to the Yellow Onion, while three will take it to the Blue Onion. Any number exceeding three will cause the cycle to repeat.
