Renate FitzRoy: the google websites are mostly German, should be handled with caution!

-> I do not understand your disagree - easily digestible is "leicht verdaulich" and there are many GHits on English pages. Please check again :))

agree

Kim Metzger: I have to disagree with Renate. Highly digestible is perfectly idiomatic English. There are twice as many Googlies for "easily digestible", but hoch- is not necessarily easy.
