edible
Fit for consumption
Edible means safe or suitable to eat.
The word distinguishes what can be consumed from what cannot: The berries looked tempting but weren't edible.
Edible doesn't imply appetizing—something can be technically edible but unpleasant.
As a noun, edibles often refers to cannabis-infused foods: She prefers edibles to smoking.
