I have a fair number of these. I know I can use them in cooking, but don't
know how! Do I use them whole, or crushed? Do I remove the outer bit? I
chewed on one today and found it very pleasant, with a hint of lemon.

In India they are put on the table in restaurants and the customers chew
them after the meal. I suppose they are meant to be breath fresheners.
