The issue contains several articles that highlight positive health effects of rye consumption, such as improved blood sugar control and heart health.
We get an insight into the Nordic Rye Forum, a collaboration between Nordic universities, institutes and industry, with the aim of promoting research on rye. Rikard Landberg, professor at Chalmers University of Technology, shares insights from the forum’s work. Furthermore, studies of rye’s unique cross-pollination are presented, research that aims to improve yields and increase crop resilience to climate change. New dissertation work from Chalmers, by Thérése Hjorth and Sebastian Åberg, shows the positive effects of rye and wholegrains on blood sugar control and appetite regulation.
In the magazine, you will also find information about new research projects funded by the Lantmännen Research Foundation that investigate the health effects of dietary fibre and wholegrains, as well as the development of new food ingredients from legumes. In addition, Cecilia Tullberg at Lund University, coordinator of a major new research initiative that will strengthen Sweden’s food preparedness through increased cultivation and consumption of grain, peas and beans, is interviewed. We also get an insight into the EU project SWITCH, which aims to change eating habits to promote health and sustainability.
To conclude, Fullkornsfrämjandet, a new initiative to increase the consumption of wholegrain in Sweden, gives tips on how we can become wholegrain smart!
