Why is Goerge Washington Carvers invention inportant to us today?

Question

Carver invented peanuts and peanut butter. I want to know why is that inportant to us today.

Answer 1

I don't think he "invented" peanuts. He may have helped cultivate them and developed peanut butter - a compact form of peanuts which last for a long time without refrigeration.

Why is it important to you? Do you like to eat peanut butter? How about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

Answer 2

Because peanut butter is awesome! Peanuts are a very important agricultural product for the US. We have lots of peanut butter here and in europe, they don't.

Answer 3

Agricultural chemist, Carver discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Among the listed items that he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were his recipes and improvements to/for: adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Only three patents were every issued to Carver.


Carver did not patent or profit from most of his products. He freely gave his discoveries to mankind. Most important was the fact that he changed the South from being a one-crop land of cotton, to being multi-crop farmlands, with farmers having hundreds of profitable uses for their new crops. "God gave them to me." he would say about his ideas, "How can I sell them to someone else?" In 1940, Carver donated his life savings to the establishment of the Carver Research Foundation at Tuskegee, for continuing research in agriculture.
