Needing help with Hash Values.

Hi, I'm to entirely sure where I'm going wrong here. I'm very sure i've used a similar code before to do the same but for Hash Keys, I'm really appreciate some direction as to what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you in advance!

hash.rb 
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if hash.has_value?("bread")
  hash.store("food", true)
end

I realise now that my hash was incorrectly named and should in fact be "grocery_list", but the rest is still not working.

If hash.has_value?(“Bread”)

Make sure your bread has a capitalized B as it is case sensitive.
