edibleness

Safe to consume

Edibleness is the quality of being fit to eat.

The word is rare, with edibility preferred in most contexts: The edibility of the berries was questionable.

When edibleness does appear, it typically emphasizes the bare fact that something can be consumed rather than whether it tastes good.
