Lund University: Oat oil preparation makes you feel fuller
Lund University researchers collaborated on studies involving oat-based breakfasts (including gröt variations) to explore health benefits like unique oat oil compositions and their effects on people eating them as part of a morning meal.This ties directly into campus traditions: Swedish universities like Lund often have student canteens (kårhus or matställen) serving affordable, quick breakfasts, where plain or lightly topped havregrynsgröt is a staple—healthy, cheap, warming for cold mornings, and aligned with Nordic emphasis on whole grains. Keeping it simple:
- Ingredients (for 1-2 servings): 1 dl (about ½ cup) rolled oats (havregryn), 2-3 dl milk or water (or mix), pinch of salt, optional toppings: cinnamon, apple sauce/compote, fresh/frozen berries, milk, nuts/seeds.
- Method: Boil the oats with liquid and salt for 5-10 minutes on medium heat, stirring until creamy. Serve hot with toppings.
This reflects the broader Scandinavian college breakfast culture—practical, nutritious porridge as a no-fuss start to the day, especially in winter.Other universities mention grøt/gröt indirectly (e.g., University of Agder in Norway lists “grøt” as a familiar food with rice/oat variations topped with sugar, butter, cinnamon), but Lund provides the most direct university-linked background on it as a breakfast tradition.

Sweden is now a NATO member. Thank you all Allies for welcoming us as the 32nd member. We will strive for unity, solidarity and burden-sharing, and will fully adhere to the Washington Treaty values: freedom, democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. Stronger together.

It’s official – #Sweden is now the 32nd member of #NATO, taking its rightful place at our table. Sweden’s accession makes NATO stronger, Sweden safer, and the whole Alliance more secure. I look forward to raising their flag at NATO HQ on Monday.
