As with any usual PR guff they apparently "contain up to 10 times the level of antioxidant, anthocyanins, compared with white potatoes"

I don't know whether these are the same, but I once grew another purple variety of spud. When it came to cooking them, then turned cream...I was most disappointed.

Anyway, does this now mean that chips may contribute to our 5 a day?

They always did in my book. I am sure a portion of home cut/cooked chipscontains more Vitamin C than something other (that should contain lots) and it's a damn sight better for you that manufactured bread.
