A Brief History:
Origin of Peanut Butter: Peanut butter was first made by John Harvey Kellogg in 1895 for a method of providing protein for those who were older and needed nutrients through food where people were not able to chew meat. Peanut butter was first presented and sold publicly in the year 1904 at the St. Louis World Fair at C.H. Sumner’s concession stand. In 1922, Joseph Rosefield invented the process of the consistency of peanut butter we know and love these days through the process of  homogenization, and the process of being able to keep the peanut oil from separating from the peanut solids. Joseph later sold that patent to the Peter Pan company, but then went into business for himself selling the Skippy brand of peanut butter through Rosefield Packing. The company supplied peanut butter as military rations during World War II.

The Process of Manufacture: Peanut butter is packed with protein and is rich in healthy monounsaturated fat. Peanut butter is made with two grinding steps, first to reduce the peanuts to a medium grind, then the second to a fine and smooth texture. To make chunky peanut butter larger peanut pieces are incorporated by varying grinding processes, or by removing one of the ribs from the grinder.

Very Nutritious Indeed: Peanut butter is a good source of nutrition and energy, fortified with vitamins E and B6, plus the minerals niacin, calcium, potassium and iron.

  1. Interesting article! So many kids today are allergic to peanut butter schools no longer allow any child to bring a packed peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Something new pediatricians recommend introducing small amounts of peanut butter at young ages which decreasing a later allergy. It has worked with my grandchildren who did not develop an allergy to peanut butter.

  2. Peanut butter and peanuts…just reading cathymcinturff ‘s post. My grandson is SO allergic to peanuts, (and eggs, and a million other things), that an Epipen is always on him, and carried by his parents. None of us have peanut allergies, I don’t where he got it. He was totally breastfed as a baby, that’s supposed to help keep allergies away but apparently that’s an old wives tale.
