English to German Other Cooking / Culinary Recipe with cardamom

"Many ethnic recipes call for using a bruised cardamom pod. To bruise a pod, gently thump it with a rolling pin or put it under the flat end of a but-cher’s knife and give it a gentle push. Bruising releases the oils, allowing their flavors to meld with the other ingredients. For recipes calling for whole seeds, bruising helps relea-se their oils as well. At the end of the cooking, you should discard pods, but not seeds."

Weiß vielleicht jemand, wie man "bruised" hier am besten auf Deutsch übersetzen könnte? Gibt es dafür bereits einen festen Begriff? Ansonsten dachte ich an "angebrochene Kardamom-Samenkapsel". Tipps wären super, vielen Dank! :-)
