In 1884, Marcellus Gilmore Edson patented a process for making peanut paste, originally intended as a nutritious food for people who had difficulty chewing solid foods. In the early 1900s, George Washington Carver helped popularize the many uses of peanuts, while peanut butter recipes began appearing in cookbooks, including Mrs. Rorer’s New Cookbook in 1902.
