The 1/2# is in powder form. Mixed up, it makes enough to fill a regular size cool whip container. I put 2-3 gumball size balls in for 100 1/2" to 1" silkworms. That feeds them for 25-28 days....which is about when they turn to catapillars. Feeding them too much can stress them but this is plenty for them. As far as I know, it's the same stuff as MF sells.



Hope this helps
