Decorticated means the seeds have been removed from their pods but not powdered, this is the best of both worlds. Easy to use, just grind a couple of tablespoons in a coffee grinder as needed to save them loosing their strength. Or can grind them in a pestle & mortar just before using for maximum impact.
Traditionally used with sweet milk deserts & drinks, it aids digestion & is very yummy.
Cardamon can also be added to curries for a tasty tang.
The book The Yoga of Herbs by David Frawley & Dr Vasant Ladd also recommends it as an antidote to chocolate :)
It can be freshly ground & added to Lassie & Keefir, great in rice puddings & barfi, a seed can also be chewed after eating to freshen the breath.
If you have trouble digesting milk try adding ground cardamon, tumeric, ginger & cutting it with pure water & don't drink too much at once & you may be surprised at how much easier it is to digest & benefit from the nourishing milk. It's powerful so a little goes a long way.
Here is the best source I've found, less expensive & good quality:
