As you can see, long beans contain a hint of salt and fat, quite a bit of phosphorus and calcium, and a quite a lot of acidic content.

This means that they can eat long beans in small amounts.

Make sure that they are fed raw to guinea pigs and that they are washed thoroughly and cut up before feeding to guinea pigs.
