Yes, they are edible but the kinds that come in kits will sometimes be fed on detritus in the kit which isn't edible because it contains all kinds of unpleasant things like diatomaceous earth. However if you don't feed them from the kit they are just as edible as a normal shrimp. I'm not saying they will taste good but they are safe to eat.

possibly daphnia, baby triops or fairy shrimp.

Do triops eat brine shrimp?
In the wild they eat plant material, small bugs and pond creatures, and even each other if food is scarce. If you are raising triops at home you can basically feed them anything organic. Chopped up vegetables and other kitchen scraps are good choices, or you can simply feed them a commercial fish food, like Betta fish food or shrimp pellets. You can also throw in dead bugs, spiders, etc and see if they will eat it. Or as the previous poster mentioned, you can even feed them grass. If you need suggestions or specifics here is a link to a very good triops feeding guide, including how much to feed triops, when to feed triops, etc. http://www.triopsguys.com/triops-feeding-guide-78/
