Why grape juice and PB&J are surprisingly modern inventions
In short: You might assume non-alcoholic grape juice and the peanut butter and jelly sandwich are ancient staples, but their origins are much more recent than you think.
This video explores the unexpected timelines of everyday foods. It examines why non-alcoholic grape juice was not part of human history for as long as grape cultivation itself, and investigates how the combination of peanut butter, bread, and jelly only emerged in very recent times.
Additionally, the presentation looks at the historical methods used to produce raisins before the advent of seedless grape varieties.
