Origin of peanut butter:
Peanut butter was actually invented by the Aztecs, even if it didn’t quite correspond to today’s version. As we know them, four men developed peanut butter independently in the late 18th and early 19th centuries: Marcellus Gilmore Edson from Canada and the three Americans Dr. John Harvey Kelloggs, Dr. Ambrose Straub and Joseph Rosefield.
Basic Health facts
The magnesium content in peanut butter is particularly high: At 180 milligrams, 100 grams even contain more than the same amount of peanuts and cover almost two thirds of the daily requirement of women and almost half of that of men (1). Among other things, this makes peanut butter valuable for a well-functioning nervous system and the smooth flow of tension and relaxation of the muscles.
