The peanut butter sandwich was invented in the late 1800s by a man named George Washington Carver. He was an American botanist, chemist, and educator who is most famous for his research into the agricultural potential of peanuts. In the early 1900s, he began experimenting with different recipes to make peanut butter, which he found to be a good source of protein and oil.
