The three definitions of décortiquer in French are:
1. Verb: to remove the husk, carapace, shell, envelope from something
2. Verbe figuré (I don’t know if there is an English equivalent to this) It means “figure of speech verb”: to make a complete examination, or minute analysis, of it.
3. Verb: to remove the cerebral cortex from a lab animal.
So your decorticated spice falls neatly into this category.
