History of Peanut Butter

Peanuts have not always been considered a food that could be used to make fillings for sandwiches and flavors and toppings for desserts. Until the late 1800s, peanuts were used as animal feed, not as food for people. At the beginning of the 20th century, inventions were created that made it easier to plant, cultivate, and harvest peanuts. They then began to be considered as a food for people.

Peanut butter did not become commonly accepted as a food until the early 1900s. Several people developed inventions and processes that made it possible to create smooth and creamy peanut butter.

In 1884, Marcus Gilmore Edson developed a process for making peanut paste. He milled roasted peanuts between two heated plates. A cereal maker and specialist in health foods, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, patented a process that used raw peanuts in 1895. Dr. Ambrose Straub patented a machine to make peanut butter in 1903. C.H. Sumner introduced peanut butter at his concession stand at the 1904 Universal Expedition held in St. Louis.

Chemist Joseph Rosefield created the process that made the modern form of peanut butter possible. In 1922, he used homogenization to prevent peanut oil from separating from the peanut solids.
