The History of Nut Butter
Nut butter is a delicious and nutritious snack that has been enjoyed by people for centuries. The earliest evidence of nut butter dates back to ancient civilisations, such as the Aztecs and Incas, who ground roasted peanuts into a paste. However, modern peanut butter, as we know it today, is credited to several inventors, including Marcellus Gilmore Edson, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, and Dr. Ambrose Straub.
In 1884, Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Canada patented a method of producing peanut butter from roasted peanuts using heated surfaces. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg's cereal company, patented a process for creating peanut butter from raw peanuts in 1895. He marketed it as a nutritious protein substitute for people who could hardly chew on solid food. In 1903, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri, patented a peanut-butter-making machine.
Peanut butter was first introduced to the public at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. It quickly became popular, and by the early 1900s, there were several commercial peanut butter brands on the market. Peanut butter was also a popular food during World War I and World War II, as it was a high-protein food that was easy to transport and store.
In the years since World War II, peanut butter has become a staple food in many households around the world. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from sandwiches and snacks to desserts and main courses. Peanut butter is also a good source of protein, fibre, and healthy fats.
