What Does Edible Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The word edible means fit to be eaten or suitable for eating.  The word can be used as a noun or as an adjective. Here are the uses of the word as a noun and as an adjective:

    1. The fruit was edible. (edible used as a noun)
    2. An apple is an edible fruit with a lot of nutrients in it. (edible used as an adjective)

    The word is usually used with relation to human consumption. Food that is cooked, baked, fried, roasted, barbecued or eaten in the natural form is also known to be "edible." An edible may or not be rich in nutrients; it may just be tasty, devoid of any nutritional value. The word was first used in the popular English literature in the middle of the 16th century.
