2. Drop it in a pond somewhere, the ducks or fish would probably love it. 😊

3. It’s fine as long as it’s kept dry

4. Dry wakame doesn’t really actually turn bad. It just loses flavour or tastes differently.

5. My ex mother-in-law had a massive bag of this stuff from when my ex’s family ran a sushi restaurant. It was at least a decade old and tasted just fine.

6. After several decades of adult-like life, I’ve just gotten into the habit of re-buying certain things for my pantry annually, and condiment type things for my fridge, often in bulk. Kombu and wakame are two examples. The price to buy in bulk is pretty modest, I rarely run out (or if I do, I’ll buy twice or more per year), and it’s much easier to do it this way than to keep something that may not even be marked with an expiration date from the retailer for an unknown amount of time, and find myself guessing like you are.

8. Check if it has a criminal record 😄
