Yes, Kevin, edible means "seedless".
For instance, basjoo fruits smells good, delicious and sweet when fully
ripe, but the trouble is that they contain a lot of hard seeds. That is why
they say basjoo is not an edible banana.
Likewise, velutina bananas can also be eaten although they also contain
a lot of seeds. So velutina is classified as non-edible banana.
