So, what's the deal with peanut butter? Furthermore, how did it sneak its way so prominently into our culture?

Peanut Butter's Crunchy History

Data is conflicted as to who indeed invented peanut butter, with a whopping five suspected creators: 

1. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg - In 1895, Kellogg was said to have patented the process for making peanut butter, not for creating the product itself. 
2. George Washington Carver - An agricultural scientist in the early 20th century who pioneered over 105 food recipes for peanuts and 300 uses for peanuts. 
3. Rose Davies - While her story is somewhat of a mystery, historian Elanor Rosakranse shared that Rose Davies' invention of peanut butter came about after her children returned from a vacation in Cuba. On their trip, they were introduced to a peanut-like paste and encouraged their mom, Rose to make it at home. 
4. Marcellus Gilmore Edson - He was awarded the patent number 306737 in 1884 for his creation of Peanut Paste, a substance similar to butter, lard, or ointment.
5. Unknown St. Louis Physician and George A. Bayle - These two teamed up in 1890; one suggested the idea, and the other experimented with the product. They sold their paste for 60 cents a pound and even advertised as the original innovators of the product. 

This delicacy actually dates back to 14th Century South America with the Aztecs or Incas. They were said to have created the spread to enjoy in various ways or used it as a sacrificial offering. 

No matter its origin, peanut butter was and continues to serve as a significant food source for human civilization.

Chunky Myths and Smooth Benefits

1. Myth - Peanuts have fat; therefore, they're bad for you.
1. Reality - Peanuts leave you feeling satiated and are a good source of protein.
2. Myth - Peanuts make you gain weight and are harmful to weight loss.
1. Reality - Peanuts contain a heart-healthy combination of "good fats" known to help prevent heart disease, improve blood lipids, and even support weight loss control. Even more, peanut butter is a good source of other essential daily vitamins and minerals like magnesium and niacin. 
3. Myth - Peanuts are the least healthy nut/nut butter option.
1. Reality - Peanuts are legumes, not nuts. Thereby, they have the most protein of the nut butter options. Bodybuilders, fitness fanatics, and gym rats use peanut butter as a healthy tool when increasing caloric and unsaturated fat intake.
4. Myth - Peanut butter has too much sugar to be considered healthy.
1. Reality - Peanut butter comes in wide varieties, some of which have sugars and other less than ideal ingredients; however, consuming peanut butter without the additives is a low-carb food with decent amounts of protein, good fats, and fiber. Some data show that peanut butter can help those with obesity, improve diabetic glucose levels, and may reduce the risk of breast disease. 

In moderation, peanut butter is an excellent part of a healthy and delicious diet. Fun fact, two tablespoons of peanut butter is equal to one serving. So order your Fortifx Peanut Butter Bar and keep reaching for those goals.
