It's perfectly fine...kombu does not expire despite some of the misinformed answers. Kombu isn't eaten (normally) but it's used for making dashi (stocks using various ingredients, bonito flakes, shittakes or sardines).
Kombu is just steeping in the simmering water to add that "umami" flavor. After being steeped for 15+min I just throw mine away (and so do almost every other Japanese person I know). You can always save it to make a nidashi which literally means "2nd dashi".
Any food of any sort has an expiration point.
Not all food manufactures are required to be
as exact, because some can still be edible
even after as long as 1/2 to 3/4 of a year. But
it's best not to try eating anything that hasn't
been touched after an entire year.
It wouldn't kill you, of course, but if you don't
need it--and there's other food in your house --
then don't bother with it.Does dried seaweed (dashi kombi) expire?
it will be just fine. suki p.s. im japanese
don't eat it
