About Peanut Butter

It is also used in many recipes for cookies, cakes and sauces. The United States is one of the leading manufacturers of peanut butter along with China.

Peanut butter is known to exist as far back as 950 BC being used by the Incas. Tombs in Peru often contained peanuts. One of it’s first commercial uses in the United States in the late 1800’s was as a food paste to supplement protein for people who had no teeth and could not chew meat.

Peanut Butter is made from peanuts, which is not actually a nut but a legume (related to peas and beans). Peanuts grow from a plant that starts above ground but as the peanut grows its weight makes it droop to the soil and the nut matures underground.

The most popular brands of peanut butter are Skippy, Jiff and Peter Pan. It is really quite healthy even though it is high in calories. Complete peanut butter nutritional facts can be found at peanut-butter.org.
