Depends on what you mean by that.
Digestion begins with the pulverization of foods in the mouth. The Hydrochloric Acid within the stomach then further breaks apart the food.
However, if you had meant the actual absorption of nutrients, then the majority of the food in which you eat is absorbed through the intestinal walls.
