Nuteena was a vegetarian meat analogue made primarily from peanut meal, soy, corn, and rice flour.[1][2] Its recipe was based on Nuttose, which John Harvey Kellogg (whose brother Will Keith Kellogg founded what is now Kellogg's) created in 1896 as the first American meat analog.[3][4][5] Nuteena was especially popular among Seventh-day Adventists, many of whom choose to be vegetarian based on the health message promoted by their church.[6]
