The strawberry is a pseudo much appreciated for its taste, aroma and nutritional properties, containing important source of vitamin C. This vitamin is essential for human health, and its consumption is associated with reduced risk of several diseases. This article aims to assess the vitamin C content in strawberries, analyzing the influence of the Festival and San Andreas cultivars in conventional and organic farming systems, substrate, in Bom Pricípio, Rio Grande do Sul. The vitamin C content was assessed by high performance liquid chromatography in comparison to a standard curve. Vitamin C content found in the Festival and San Andreas cultivars were higher than in the conventional system with respect to the organic system, i.e., 34.85 and 69.31 mg/100 g at step 100 16.62 and 42.19 mg/100 g, respectively.
