I am not an expert, but i would imagine they can by sucking them up. My advice would be to put less food in the tank.

Do bettas normally eat from bottom of tank?
This can depend on what type of food you are feeding your fish. If you are feeding betta bites, then typically the fish would eat from the surface. If you are feeding flakes, then it's possible the fish is simply waiting for the food to sink. It's not uncommon for fish to forage around the bottom for food that may have settled there.

If the betta is spitting the food out, or looks at it and then ignores it, it probably just doesn't like that kind of food. They're picky.
