Sealed Crustless Sandwich

A sealed crustless sandwich is a type of delicious sandwich that has a tasty filling of peanut butter and jelly.

You might not know, but the combination of peanut butter and jelly has become a staple of the American diet and others as well.

Peanut butter gained popularity during the World War II when the rationing and scarcity of meat forced American citizens and soldiers to seek protein alternatives.

Moreover, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg came up with many informative theories related to nutrition and health, some of which included how peanuts are beneficial to one’s health.
