Let $G$ be a finite connected simple graph with $d$ vertices and let $\Pc_G \subset \RR^d$ be the edge polytope of $G$ . We call $\Pc_G$ \emph{decomposable} if $\Pc_G$ decomposes into integral polytopes $\Pc_{G^+}$ and $\Pc_{G^-}$ via ae hyperplane, and we give an algorithm which determines the decomposability of an edge polytope. We prove that when $\Pc_G$ is decomposable, $\Pc_G$ is normal if and only if both $\Pc_{G^+}$ and $\Pc_{G^-}$ are normal. We also study toric ideals of $\Pc_{G}, \Pc_{G^+}$ and $\Pc_{G^-}$.
