That's backwards, eatable is the stronger claim that means fit as food while edible just means safe to eat.

Pedantic difference; most people would reasonably assume either meant "OK to eat".

No more pedantic than the comment I was replying to. My advice would be not to use "eatable" at all because others will just think you're saying edible incorrectly.
