"Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich: A Timeless American Favorite"

A 2002 survey reported the average American eats 1,500 PB&J sandwiches before finishing high school.

Peanut butter is spread on one slice of bread and preserves on the other, then pressed together.

Peanut butter was originally served with savory foods like celery, pimento, and crackers.

PB&J became more common with the fall in peanut butter prices and the invention of sliced bread in the 1920s.

A typical PB&J sandwich has around 403 calories, 18g fat, 58g carbohydrates, and 12g protein.
