A nation is known for its traditional and unique dishes. With its rich history and cultural diversity, Iran has a reputation for delicious food. Nevertheless, the country\u2019s financial calamity prevents people from affording a decent table, even having a simple breakfast.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, cheese, bread, walnuts, and tea have made the breakfast of millions of Iranians. In recent years, as the country\u2019s economy began to collapse due to the regime\u2019s actions, many Iranians could only afford what they had for many years as breakfast.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, now, according to Iran\u2019s state-run media, people cannot even afford to have bread and cheese.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeemingly, inflation and skyrocketing prices have not spared the simplest food many Iranians had. Our researches indicate the prices of walnut, bread, and cheese surpass 5 million rials,\u201d the state-run Hamdeli daily <\/span>acknowledged<\/span><\/a> on July 26.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, other food items and essential goods are not affordable either. \u201cAccording to Iran\u2019s Statistics Center, the inflation of essential food items reached a record in July, surpassing 86%, which is an increase of 4.4%,\u201d Hamdeli adds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As many cannot even afford a simple meal of bread and cheese, the news indicates that bread has become the primary nutrition of millions of Iranians.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFood inflation in Iran has become alarming, and the statistics center has found the food inflation rate in July to be over 90%. According to the activists of the food market, this incident has caused a sharp fall in the per capita consumption of the main food items in Iran, and on the other hand, it has led to an increase in the consumption of bread,\u201d <\/span>the state-run Sharq daily wrote<\/span><\/a> on July 27 in this regard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
