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:
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.

Like many folk traditions of saying “Rabbit, rabbit” to your colleagues on the first day of the month has an unclear origin and has several variations and interpretations. We use it a reason to explore university research into food sources; the proper business of education communities everywhere. In one version of the tradition, saying “Rabbit, rabbit” or “White rabbit” as the first words upon waking on the first day of the month is believed to bring good luck for the rest of that month. It is thought to ensure good fortune, happiness, and general positivity throughout the coming weeks.
The specific origins and reasons behind this tradition are difficult to trace, as superstitions often evolve and are passed down through generations. It’s worth noting that this practice is not universally known or followed, and its popularity may vary among different regions and communities. Ultimately, the saying “Rabbit, rabbit” on the first day of the month is an example of a charming and whimsical superstition that some individuals enjoy participating in as a fun way to start the month on a positive note.
