How long does NORI (seaweed for sushi) last?

I have some NORI and there is a date on the package that says best if used by x date. as we all know this is just to get people to throw it out and buy new stuff even though there is nothing wrong with it . not to be confused with SELL BY DATE like on milk. the NORI is baked so i'm pretty sure it should keep for a good ammount of time after the date cus once it's baked it dries out and is more like a spice. or am I WAY OFF with this one.

    I was craving sushi and couldn't find any Nori when I relocated to Detroit. My friend had in his pantry ten sheets of ten-year old nori and the little silica packet they came with sealed in a Ziploc bag. As long as they remain dry, they'll likely keep forever. If they get moist before they're stored in the Ziploc, there's possibility of bad molds growing on them but as long as they're kept dry, they should be okay. Also, if they get wet before you use them, they will tear when you go to roll them.

    I've since found an Asian grocery that sells nori. Before finding the grocery, I was secretly getting a few sheets from the roller at the sushi stand at a suburban Kroger grocery store.

    Hope this helped. It's all about holding onto that little silica packet.
