It is Peanut Butter Day. Have you ever wondered where does peanut butter comes from? Well - it dates back to the Aztecs and Incas around 1000 BC. When it's homemade, peanut butter is a great source of vitamin E, B6, niacin, calcium, potassium and iron! It also contains protein and healthy monounsaturated fat. It is healthiest with no added sugar or salt.
There are so many children's books which have peanut butter in the title, but often it is a name for a character and not the spread. Also it often appears with Jelly as this is a favourite american combination.
If your students are curious about how peanut butter is made there are books to help
