Where is it really produced, and where is it packaged? Conflicting information, between description and customer reviews.

It's from China. This is ground up into dust. This seaweed was crushed into a fine powder. You cannot use it, eat it, or even return it to get your money back. Do not buy this product or from this Seller!

how small are the pieces cut? Are they shredded like you would find in a Wakame salad or are they larger cut like you might find in a miso soup?

It was crushed to a fine powder. These are not cut, they are smashed into dust. Not usable, edible, nor returnable. Do not buy this product or from this seller.

how long is the "use by" (or "best by") date? I'd like to buy a pound, but that would have to keep very well over at least six months. Thanks!

Never! This seaweed was crushed into a fine powder. You cannot use it, eat it, or even return it to get your money back. Do not buy this product or from this Seller!

Good taste and it lasts a while.

I've always like dried wakame. This wakame is good and the amount in the bag lasts awhile.

Handy and reasonably priced.

This is very useful for adding to rice, for example, because it is shredded. I enjoy it for additions to dishes.

Good and convenient

I got this Wakame Cut Dried Seaweed for my favorite chicken soup recipe. It is delicious and very easy to use. When my soup is still hot, I just add a small amount of the seaweed to the bowl, and it turns into a nice chicken soup with seaweed. It only takes about 1 to 2 minutes for it to rehydrate. I only use a small amount, maybe about a teaspoon for a small bowl of soup, and it expands nicely. Great product and very convenient to keep in the pantry.
