From Plant to Pail: A Brief History of Peanut Butter
A tasty snack enjoyed by many, peanut butter is as American as apple pie. From sandwiches to soup, the iconic food has become a staple in pantries across the U.S. Did you know that peanut butter made its first big debut here in St. Louis at the 1904 World’s Fair? Or that it was first sold in metal pails to help keep it fresh?
Find out more fun facts about the history of peanut butter in From Plant to Pail: A Brief History of Peanut Butter. See over 75 unique peanut butter pails, generously on loan from Donald and Shirley Zork.
