They are edible in that you can eat them and they will not hurt you, but in the banana world, edible means that it is a seedless cultivar where as M. velutina is a seeded wild species. Personally I think they are fun to eat even with the seeds which are not as hard as most people tend to think they are (though some other banana species are indeed like rocks), but there are a lot of seeds.
