Nutritionists worldwide recommend an increased consumption of whole grain products and dietary fiber. Rye and oats are excellent raw materials for healthy and tasty foods and both cereal types are rich in dietary fiber. The Nordic Innovation Centre (NICe ) is the Nordic Council of Ministers' instrument for promoting an innovative, competitive, and knowledge-intensive Nordic business sector. In 2006, NICe founded a three-year project entitled "Wholegrain, rye, and oat—Nordic opportunity," short name"Granity," to promote the use of rye and oats in Nordic and Baltic countries. Granity is a collaborative project between scientists and cereal industries in Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. One of the aims was to collect information about the production and use of rye and oats. The collected information is presented in this paper.
