National Peanut Butter Day

On January 24th, we celebrate an American staple in our pantries, National Peanut Butter Day. Peanut butter is given the honor it so richly deserves each year on this day, whether it be creamy or chunky, with chocolate or with jelly.

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.

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 company that began making Peter Pan peanut butter. Through Rosefield Packing, Rosefield went into business for himself by exporting Skippy peanut butter.. During World War II, He also provided peanut butter for military rations.
