About Crab Chips
Crab Chips, known in Korea as Kkotgerang, is a crab-shaped snack that Binggrae released in September 1986 and that became an immediate hit. It is baked using heated salt for a crisp, light texture, and its crab shape makes it fun to eat by slipping a finger between the claws. Binggrae says it has long been a favourite snack in Russia, where it is exported.
