What I Actually Eat From My Tray



People ask me this a lot.

"You grow it. But what do you actually do with it?"

Fair question.

🌱 First — What I Grow

Two things, consistently:

  • Microgreens
  • Wheatgrass

That's it.

No complicated varieties. No large setup.

Just these two. Grown in small trays at home.

🥗 What I Do With Microgreens

I eat them fresh.

Straight after harvest — cut, rinsed, done.

Here's how I usually use them:

  • On top of dal or rice
  • Mixed into a simple salad
  • Sometimes just as a small side — nothing fancy

The point isn't the recipe.

The point is that it's fresh, real, and grown by me.

That changes how it feels to eat it.

🥤 What I Do With Wheatgrass

I don't eat wheatgrass the way I eat microgreens.

I juice it.

Small amount. First thing in the morning.

No elaborate process:

  • Cut fresh from the tray
  • Blend or crush with a little water
  • Drink immediately

That's it.

Fresh is everything here. Wheatgrass stored even for a few hours loses most of its value.

⚠️ What I Don't Do

I want to be honest about this.

I don't replace my meals with what I grow.

I don't track nutrition obsessively.

I don't follow a strict routine every single day.

What I do is simple:

Grow consistently. Use what's ready. Don't overthink it.

🌿 What Actually Changed

The bigger shift wasn't in my diet.

It was in my awareness.

When you grow something yourself:

  • You stop ignoring where food comes from
  • You start valuing freshness differently
  • You become more intentional — even with what you buy

That awareness carries into everything else.

🏠 How Much Does It Add?

Not a lot in volume.

But that's not the point.

Even a small tray of microgreens or wheatgrass added consistently:

  • Brings real nutrition to your plate
  • Builds a daily habit
  • Keeps you connected to what you eat

Small. Consistent. Real.

That's the whole idea.

Final Thought

You don't need to grow everything to eat better. Just grow something — and use it.

Grow it fresh. Eat it simply. Repeat.

  Can You Grow Your Own Food in Siliguri? Yes — Even in a Small Space Living in Siliguri, we’re surrounded by greenery. Tea gardens, open spaces, fresh air — it feels close to nature. And yet, when it comes to what we eat every day, most of us are completely disconnected from how our food is grown. I was too. 🌿 The Reality in Siliguri We have access to local markets, fresh vegetables, and seasonal produce. But even then: We don’t know how it was grown We don’t know what was used We don’t see the process We just buy and consume. 🌱 Do You Need Land to Grow Food Here? Not really. That’s the assumption — “Maybe in villages or farms, but not in the city.” But that’s not true. You can grow a small portion of your own food: On a balcony Near a window Even on a small table 🧪 What I Grow (And Why) I grow microgreens and wheatgrass. Not because I want to replace everything I eat. But because I want to grow at least something real . In a place like Siliguri, where humidity and climate are ...

Wheatgrass — What It Is and Why I Grow It Most people have heard of wheatgrass. Few actually know what it is. Even fewer grow it themselves. I do. And it changed how I think about food. 🌾 What Is Wheatgrass? Wheatgrass is the young grass of the wheat plant. Harvested early — usually around 7 to 10 days after sprouting. It looks simple. It grows fast. And it's one of the most nutrient-dense things you can grow at home. 🧪 Why It's Different From Microgreens I grow both. But they're not the same. Microgreens are young vegetable plants — harvested and eaten as food. Wheatgrass is different. You don't eat it like a salad. You juice it. Or blend it. Or add it to something. A small amount goes a long way. 🌿 Why I Started Growing It Honestly? I was curious. I kept seeing wheatgrass shots in health content online. But I didn't trust what was being sold. So I grew it myself. That was the point — to know exactly what I was consuming. No unknown source. No long storage. No g...

  How I Grow Microgreens in a Small Space? When I started, I thought growing food would be complicated. It isn’t. Microgreens are probably the simplest way to begin. No farm. No expensive setup. Just a small space and consistency.           🌱 What I Use (Simple Setup) You don’t need anything fancy. Here’s what I use: A basic tray Good quality seeds Clean water Indirect sunlight That’s it. No complicated tools. No heavy investment. 🧪 Step-by-Step Process 1. Prepare the Tray Fill your tray with a growing medium (soil or cocopeat). Keep it level and slightly moist. 2. Add Seeds Spread seeds evenly across the surface. Don’t overcrowd, but don’t leave too much space either. 3. Water Gently Use a light spray or gentle pour. Too much water is the most common mistake. 4. Let Them Grow Keep the tray in a place with indirect sunlight. Within a few days, you’ll start seeing growth. 5. Harvest In about 7–10 days, your microgreens are ready. Cut them just above t...
