The Nutty Butter We Love

There are many types of nut butters such as, Almond butter, Cashew butter, Hazelnut butter Macadamia nut butter, ect. However, the most common one is Peanut Butter.

The general idea of peanut butter goes a long way back — all the way to the Aztecs, who used to grind roasted peanuts into a paste. It wasn't quite the same idea as today's peanut butter.

So, who invented peanut butter?! Marcelllus Gilmore Edson in 1884, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in 1896, or Dr. Ambrose Straub? We can thank all three people for it. Really, it was a group effort.

First, there's Canada's Marcellus Gilmore Edson, who patented the process for making "peanut paste" in 1884.
