    Who first created peanut butter, before George Washington Carver?

    Question #22467. Asked by Jimmy.

    Kainantu

    Has to be Carver or locals following elephants tramping through the peanut patch.

    1 Over 100 Years Old
    'Peanut butter was created by a St. Louis physician George Washington Carver in 1890 as a high-protein, easily digestible food for his elderly patients. In 1904, it was promoted as a health food at the St. Louis World's Fair.'

    2 Discovering Peanut Uses
    'When growers complained that there wasn't a large enough market for peanuts, Carver went to work. In his laboratory, which the devout scientist called 'God's Little Workshop,' Carver discovered more than 300 uses for peanuts, from foods of all types to inks, dyes, soap, face cream and powder, creosote (a wood preservative), wood stains, plastics, linoleum, metal polish and synthetic rubber.

    His efforts altered the economy of the South, and the peanut, not even recognized as a crop in 1896, became one of the top six in the United States by 1940.'
