Dang Foods is a US-based company that mainly manufacturers coconut chips. This is made from the copra (or meat) of the coconut and is lightly toasted into a chip-like snack. Dang Foods was founded by Vincent Kitirattragarn, a Thai-American engineer turned entrepreneur that started making coconut chips after his mother gave him a recipe for Thai lettuce wraps with toasted coconut. Eventually he ditched the wrap and started to only make the toasted coconut chips and named the company after his mother, Dang. The company focuses on providing authentic Thai snacks that are natural, GMO-free , gluten-free, plant-based, and healthier than conventional chips in the US.
