In Thailand, there is a snack called กล้วยเบรคแตก (Kluay-Brake-Taek), banana chips so addictive, the name basically means “your brakes just gave out.”
Thin. Crispy. Bold flavor that hits all at once: spicy, savory, tangy, a little sweet. The kind of snack you can't put down because you genuinely don't want to.
When I moved to California, I couldn't find that same snack energy.
So I started BRAKEOUT.
Growing up in Thailand, bold flavors and better-for-you were never opposites. That belief is what BRAKEOUT is built on.
We start with Homthong banana, a Thai variety with the name translated as "golden fragrant".
We harvest it green when it's rich in fibers and has less sugar before it ripens, slice it super thin, fry it in rice bran oil, then bake out the excess oil so every chip stays crispy and light, with no preservatives needed.
Then comes the flavors. We season it with real ingredient flavors from your favorite Asian dishes, uncompromising, and built to be addictive.
Because a snack that's good for you should still be impossible to put down.
We’re building one step at a time, shaped by the people who find us early and the flavors they’re excited to see next.
This is just the beginning.
