How long digestion?

After food is chewed it takes 5-10 seconds for it to pass down the esophagus and into the stomach, where it spends 2-6 hours being partially digested. Final digestion and nutrient absorption occur in the small intestine over a period of 5-6 hours. In 12-24 hours, any undigested material passes through the large intestine, and feces are expelled through the anus.
