Peanut butter made from only the best peanuts

When Marcellus Gilmore Edson first patented peanut butter in 1884, he probably didn’t realize it would become a taste sensation that would sweep the nation. Whether you go crunchy or smooth, on January 24 we put down our cell phones and pick up our spreading knives to celebrate National Peanut Butter Day.

Peanut butter is a perfect food, and on March 1, we honor that perfection with National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. Peanut butter’s superb performance as a food comes from its versatility: it can be crunchy and it can be smooth; it’s healthy, but it’s also indulgent; it can go sweet, but can also go savory. We like it for every meal — peanut butter toast for breakfast, peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, peanut sauce for dinner, peanut butter ice cream for dessert — and our dogs might love it even more than we do. Celebrate peanut butter with the peanut butter lovers in your life!

National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day is on April 2, and we couldn’t be more excited! Mostly popular in the U.S., peanut butter and jelly may seem like an odd combination to some, but it sure is a great snack. The best part is the many combinations of this classic — choosing different flavors of jelly or alternating between creamy and crunchy peanut butter.
