    No they are not edible, not healthy. Your body cannot digest them so they become not just a fiber but a potential irritant to your digestive system and can even become lodged in it. There's no certainly that WILL happen, but it certainly does not do your body any good, long before even considering that they may not be clean by food standards and often contain a lot of sodium.

    Well I dont if they are edible but I think its better offf for you not to eat it as they are hard they are more difficult for your digestive system to break them down

    I've eaten them and I'm fine. Probably high in fiber.
