As brothers living between NYC & Bangkok, we grew up eating differently. We created Dang—แดง, named after our Mom—to share uniquely Asian-American snacks with the flavors and ingredients we love, including our famous original Coconut Chips, our Thai street snack-inspired Thai Rice Chips, and our Keto Friendly Bars.

How we started

In 2011 I told my mom (aka “Mama Dang”) I was starting a pop-up restaurant in NYC so she gave me her recipe for Thai lettuce wraps that called for toasted coconut. I had to make my own since I couldn’t find any at the store. Starting from scratch, I shaved thick strips of fresh coconut meat and lightly toasted them to perfection. The naturally sweet aroma caught my roommates' attention and the satisfying flavor and crunch kept them coming back. I knew in that moment that I had to start a snack food company. I launched Dang, naming it after my Mom. My brother Andrew joined in and since then we’ve used inspiration from our Thai-American heritage to create Asian-American snacks so delicious you’ll say...“Dang, that’s good!”

Where our snacks
come from

Our coconuts are sourced from family farms in Thailand. As a Certified B Corp, Dang meets rigorous standards of environmental performance and public transparency, and all of our farms follow ethical business practices.

No waste here, every part of the coconut gets used. The husks are saved for use as raw material.

Our Purpose

We’re on a mission to share our culture for a healthier and more flavorful world. Whether it be through sharing snacks, working with local farmers, or supporting organizations that aid refugees and people affected by natural disaster, we truly give a Dang.

As we’ve grown and explored our relationship to our Asian heritage and culture, we’ve taken steps to engage in sharing and learning about our team’s diverse background and ancestry.

This year, everyone on the Dang team was given the opportunity to take an ancestry test and explore their own origins. For those who chose to participate, we will be mapping out our collective genealogy to examine our collective cultures. As part of our initiative to connect cultures, we also shared a favorite dish from each of our families and are in the process of planning group cooking potlucks. Team dumpling making, anyone?—count me in!

The entire Dang Gang is going on a team-building retreat to Thailand this December. We’ll be learning about Thai culture and food, and the stories behind the snacks we make. We’ll have the chance to visit our factories, coconut farms and all the sights along the way. Follow our exciting journey through Bangkok and Chiang Mai on our Instagram this winter.

In addition to exploring our own cultures and the cultures of our team, we are continuing our commitment to supporting refugees and people affected by adverse environmental conditions, be that natural disasters or disease.
