Adding a hash key into a new array in Ruby

I'm completing the task in ruby but cannot seem to be able to add the "item" key to the "grocery_list" array.

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

grocery_list = [] grocery_list.push(grocery_item.values_at('item'))

The code works in workspaces but doesn't allow me to pass the task.

Can anyone help?

Try this syntax grocery_list.push(grocery_item["item"])

This worked for me:

grocery_list['items'].push(grocery_item)
