Obst is the German word for "fruit," which refers to the edible parts of plants that typically contain seeds. Fruits are often sweet or sour and are consumed raw or used in cooking and baking. Common examples of Obst include apples, bananas, oranges, and berries. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them an essential part of a healthy diet. Fruits can be classified into different categories, such as stone fruits (like peaches and cherries), citrus fruits (like lemons and limes), and berries (like strawberries and blueberries). Each type of Obst has unique flavors and nutritional benefits, contributing to a diverse and balanced diet.
