Abstract
Wood meal comprises wood meal granules formed by crushing raw material wood into treated wood meal and pulverizing the treated wood meal under the frictional forces of a plurality of balls such that the bulking density of the treated wood meal is increased; and a plurality of particles fixed on the surfaces of the wood meal granules by an external pressing force. The particles are smaller than the wood meal granules such that the wood meal granules are coated with the particles. The particles are also harder than the wood meal granules such that the particles are pressed into the wood meal granules surfaces from the application of the external pressing force.
