Cuban shows poor quality of bread with a hammer: "We wet it with sugar water"

A Cuban showcased the poor quality of the so-called "bodega bread" on the island, although he made it clear that his family consumes it because "we soak it in sugar water."

In a video posted on the social network X by the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights, the citizen stated: "Look, my people, they say this is bread. This is from yesterday," he can be heard saying while hammering it several times.

He even showed a second sample. "This one is finer," he commented before mentioning that "this is added to a chicken and the chicken gets bloated," which could sound like a joke in the midst of the horror that people on the island are experiencing.

Despite the well-known poor quality of the product provided by the regime as part of the ration book, the Cuban, who did not mention their place of residence, stated that they eat it, but "we leave it immersed in water with sugar for half an hour."

Just a week ago, several images on social media showed how the poor quality of bread prevails in Santiago de Cuba.

The independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada expressed his frustration on Facebook about the quality of bread in the eastern province. "I wake up to have breakfast and come across this! If this is how the first meal of the day starts, I wouldn't want to see the rest," he commented.

The followers of the communicator attested to the poor quality and ensure that, despite the complaints to the government, the solutions to the problem are not forthcoming. "This is a never-ending story," said one person.

It cannot be forgotten that in times of crisis and flour shortage, in Cuba bread made with famous "extenders" such as cassava, pumpkin, or sweet potato flourishes.

Indeed, the latest tuber has been used in Santiago to make the dough for the bread that the State sells in a rationed manner through the family basket.

In February, authorities from the Ministry of Food Industry announced severe disruptions in the delivery of bread due to delays in the arrival of wheat shipments.

Financial restrictions associated mainly with the intensified blockade and the logistical limitations that Cuba faces in bringing wheat from distant markets are the main causes of the delay in the arrival of ships carrying the cereal, explained a report from the National Television News (NTV).
