3. History of the Peanut and the Men Behind it
George Washington Carver was an
inventor who developed many things, one of
which was farming practices that gave rise
to the peanut farming industry in the United
States but he did not invent peanut butter.
The U.S. patent holder for peanut
butter belongs to Dr. John H. Kellogg and his
brother. Their patent was granted in 1895
and at one time was only available in Ohio.
In the United States, by law,
peanut butter must contain at least 90%
peanuts. This means, that if you make a
lowfat version of peanut butter you must
U.S. Patent holder for the
process for making peanut call it something else, like a nut spread.
butter, John H. Kellogg and Peanut butter is made with peanuts roasted
his brother(yes, the same in an oven. The peanuts used have to be
Kellogg). inspected first. Most of the peanuts used
come from Florida, Georgia, and good ol'
Alabama.

5. Where Peanut Butter Has Been
Peanut butter and jelly were
staples in the G.I.’s rations in World War II.
Peanut butter provided the G.I.s with much
needed protein when meat was not readily
available to them.
When the men returned to their
homes after the war, sales of peanut butter
and its familiar partner jelly increased.

6. How to select the right ingredients: Bread and Beyond
When making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it is important to select just
the right ingredients. Some people prefer smooth or creamy peanut butter while others
prefer chunky. The choice is yours!
As for the jelly component you have even more choices. While jelly is
traditional, I personally enjoy preserves or jam (which contain pieces of fruit).
You can’t very well create an all-American sandwich without the bread. What do
you choose? Try something different and use a bagel, croissant, crackers, or rice cakes.
Lastly, you’re going to need something to wash-down this taste treat. Again,
tradition says milk, but why not try something else! Click on the milk carton to get
some ideas.

8. Peanut Butter and Jelly Inside the Food Pyramid
You will see that our
sandwich fits within
many levels of the
food pyramid.
The bread fills the
bottom layer of the
pyramid.
Peanut butter is in
the nut group (even
though peanuts are
not nuts) and also fits
in the fats, oils, and
sweets level.
The jelly is within the
fruit group.
