Eggplants are best harvested between August and October. Eggplants should have a glossy skin and many of them are purple in color. Once cut open, the fleshy part of the eggplant should be spongy with an off–white color.

If you are growing your own eggplant, don't be surprised if you find a worm or two in the eggplant.

In France, eggplants are known as aubergine.

Eggplants can range in color from purple to white.

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.

Unlike flow yoga, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.

Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.

If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.
