NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER DAY – January 24

National Peanut Butter Day

On January 24th, National Peanut Butter Day honors an American staple in our pantries. Peanut butter, whether creamy or chunky, with chocolate or with jelly, receives the accolade it so richly deserves each year on this day.

The early peanut butter made by the Aztecs and Incas around 1000 BC was more of a paste and not nearly as creamy as the peanut butter we now know.

Peanut butter didn't become widely used until the twentieth century. The peanut had to be considered more than animal food first, but that wasn't until the late 1800s. The peanut is a snack and wholesale food item at the turn of the century, inventions that made planting, raising, and harvesting the legume (the peanut isn't a nut at all) made it possible to see the peanut as a retail and wholesale food item.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri, and chemist Joseph Rosefield are among the four men who created and processed the creamy, smooth peanut butter we enjoy today: Marcus Gilmore Edson of Canada, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri, and chemist Joseph Rosefield. We can thank four men for the inventions and processes that result in the creations and processes that we enjoy today's.

Edson invented a method to make peanut paste from milling roasted peanuts between two heated plates in 1884. Kellogg, the well-known cereal manufacturer and health food specialist of the time, invented a process with raw peanuts in 1895. Dr. Straub is responsible for patenting a peanut butter making machine in 1903.

At the 1904 Universal Exposition in St. Louis at C.H. Sumner's concession stand, peanut butter was introduced to audiences.

Joseph Rosefield, but not the man who gave us the peanut butter we know and love today, was Joseph Rosefield. Rosefield was able to prevent peanut oil from separateing from the peanut solids in 1922, thanks to homogenization. He later sold the patent to a Peter Pan peanut butter firm that was starting to produce Peter Pan peanut butter. Through Rosefield Packing, Rosefield went into business for himself by exporting Skippy peanut butter. During World War II, He also supplied peanut butter for military rations.
