Method of extrusion and making random extruded products

A method of making unique twisted collets comprising:

• providing a composition comprising a first granular material consisting of corn meal having a particle size distribution between 200 microns and 1200 microns such that between about 5% and 10% of the corn meal have a particle size smaller than 300 microns;
• feeding the composition into a single barrel that has more than one rotatable auger;
• conveying the composition toward a die assembly through the more than one rotatable auger and through a transition piece having an interior flow path beginning adjacent to a downstream end of the augers and diverging to a wide output end, with the die assembly comprising a stator and a rotor with a die gap there between, wherein the stator comprises a stator head downstream of the more than one rotatable auger and a stationary plate surrounding the output end of the transition piece and wherein the rotor is a rotatable plate downstream from the stator, the wide output end of the transition piece in communication with the stationary plate;
• and,
• expanding the composition within the die assembly to form the unique twisted collets having a bulk density ranging from about 3.0 to about 6.0 lbs/ft3.
