Peanut Butter/Peanut Spread History

     About one-half of all edible peanuts produced in the United States are used to make peanut butter and peanut spreads. By lawand industry standard, any product labeled “peanut butter” in the U. S. must beat least 90% peanuts. The remaining 10% may be salt, sweetener and an emulsifier (hardened vegetable oil which prevents the peanut oil from separating and rising to the top).

     Other similar products which don’tsubscribe to the 90%/10% rule are labeled peanut spread. Many are reduced fat products with added vitamins and minerals. These standards are subscribed to by the industry toassure consumers of uniformly nutritious products.

     There are many claims about the origin ofpeanut butter. Africans ground peanuts into stews as early as the 15th century. The Chinese have crushed peanuts into creamy sauces for centuries. Civil War soldiers dined on’peanut porridge.’ These uses, however, bore little resemblance to peanut butter as it isknown today.

     The ancient South American Indians were the first to make and eat peanut butter, and one of the peanut foods invented by Dr.George Washington Carver was similar to peanut butter. Historical reference has it, however, that peanut butter was invented by a physician in St. Louis (see below) about 1890 as a health food for the elderly. No one remembers the physician’s name, althoughrecords show that in 1903 Ambrose W. Straub of St. Louis patented a machine to make peanutbutter.

     In 1890, an unknown St. Louis physician supposedly encouraged the owner of a food products company, George A. Bayle Jr., to process and package ground peanut paste as a nutritious protein substitute for people with poor teeth who couldn’t chew meat. The physician apparently had experimented by grindingpeanuts in his hand-cranked meat grinder. Bayle mechanized the process and began sellingpeanut butter out of barrels for about 6¢ per pound.

First Patent

    Around the same time, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan, began experimenting with peanut butter as a vegetarian source ofprotein for his patients. His brother, W.K. Kellogg, was business manager of their sanitarium, the Western Health Reform Institute, but soon opened Sanitas Nut Company which supplied foods like peanut butter to local grocery stores.

     The Kelloggs’ patent for the “Process of Preparing Nut Meal” in 1895 described “a pasty adhesive substance that is forconvenience of distinction termed nut butter.” However, their peanut butter was not as tasty as peanut butter today because the peanuts were steamed, instead of roasted, prior to grinding. The Kellogg brothers turned their attention to cereals which eventually gained them worldwide recognition.

     Joseph Lambert, a Kellogg employee who hadworked on developing food processing equipment, began selling his own hand-operated peanut butter grinders in 1896. Three years later, his wife Almeeta published the first nutcookbook, “The Complete Guide to Nut Cookery” and two years later the LambertFood Company was organized.

     C.H. Sumner was the first to introduce peanut butter to the world at the Universal Exposition of 1904 in St. Louis. He sold $705.11 of the treat at his concession stand and peanut butter was on its way to becomingan American favorite!

     Krema Products Company in Columbus, Ohio began selling peanut butter in 1908 ~ and is the oldest peanut butter company still in operation today (Established in 1898). Krema’s founder, Benton Black, used the slogan, “I refuse to sell outside of Ohio.” This was practical at the timesince peanut butter packed in barrels spoiled quickly and an interstate road system had not yet been built.

     In 1922, Joseph L. Rosefield began sellinga number of brands of peanut butter in California. These peanut butters were churned like butter so they were smoother than the gritty peanut butters of the day. He soon received the first patent for a shelf-stable peanut butter which would stay fresh for up to a year because the oil didn’t separate from the peanut butter.

     One of the first companies to adopt this new process was Swift & Company for its E.K. Pond peanut butter~ renamed Peter Pan in 1928. In 1932, Rosefield had a dispute with Peter Pan and began producing peanut butter under the Skippy label the following year. Rosefield created the first crunchy style peanut butter two years later by adding chopped peanuts into creamy peanut butter at the end of the manufacturing process.

     In 1955, Procter & Gamble entered the peanut butter business by acquiring W.T. Young Foods in Lexington, Kentucky, makers of Big Top Peanut Butter. They introduced Jif in 1958 and nowoperate the world’s largest peanut butter plant ~ churning out 250,000 jars every day!

     Basically, all peanut butter is made by a similar process. First the raw, shelled peanuts are roasted and cooled, then the skins are removed (blanched.) Some manufacturers split the kernels and remove the heart of thepeanut as well. The hearts can be saved to make peanut oil and the skins left over from blanching can be sold for animal feed. The blanched peanut kernels are electronicallysorted or hand picked one last time to be sure only good, wholesome kernels are used inpeanut butter.

     The peanuts are ground, usually through two grinding stages, to produce a smooth, even-textured butter. The peanuts are heatedduring the grinding to about 170 degrees F . Once the emulsifiers are added and mixed, thebutter is cooled rapidly to 120 degrees F or below. This crystallizes the emulsifiers, thus trapping the peanut oil that was released by the grinding. To make chunky peanut butter, peanut granules are added to the creamy peanut butter. The peanut butter is then packed into containers for sale at stores.

Types of Peanuts

     Although peanuts come in many varieties,there are four basic market types: Runner, Virginia, Spanish and Valencia. Each of the peanut types is distinctive in size, flavor, and nutritional composition.

     Runners have become the dominant type due to the introduction in the early 1970’s of a new runnervariety, the Florunner, which was responsible for a spectacular increase in peanut yields. Runners have rapidly gained wide acceptance because of the attractive, uniform kernel size. Fifty-four percent of the runners grown are used for peanut butter. Runners are  grown mainly in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma.
