Ah the peanut. You have to love them. You eat them at baseball games, in the afternoon for lunch or you use their oil to help make that perfect dish in the kitchen. If it weren’t for George’s hard work and effort there would be none of this. All of the sandwiches that you eat and all of the peanuts at the game gone! Just like that. George Washington Carver was an Agricultural Researcher and Food Scientist. He found over 300 uses for the peanut. This is probably the most important discovery having to do with food and plant because of the simple fact that almost everything has some type of peanut oil in it. George also found many ways to use pecans, and sweet potatoes. He found around 75 uses for the pecan and more than 100 uses for the sweet potato. George Washington Carver really helped out the food and agricultural aspects of the world. Cited from `Kremer, Gary R. "Carver, George Washington."
