They're made of starch. It's like people eating those corn starch packing peanuts over here. The toothpicks are edible, though probably not made in a facility with food grade standards.
Is it wood starch or some sort of foam?
Sweet potato or corn starch.
So it's perfectly edible, other than they aren't produced as food and aren't made to that standard
