Peanut Butter: Who Invented the Tasty Sandwich Spread?

Peter-Pan-Peanut-Butter.jpg

It was a food that could not be kept for long, as the oil separated from the peanut butter solids, and exposure to light and oxygen caused it to spoil quickly.
Therefore, peanut butter remained a regional product at that time. But this problem was solved during the 1920s, when a patent called ‘Peanut butter and the process of manufacturing the same’ was granted to a businessman by the name of Joseph Rosefield. The process patented by Rosefield involved the use of hydrogenated peanut oil, which prevented the peanut butter from separating. Rosefield would eventually launch Skippy, one of the most recognizable peanut butter brands today. | Ancient Origins
