                                According to the Whole Grains Council, unrefined rice, known as whole grain rice, retains all three edible parts of the grain—the bran, germ, and endosperm—unlike white rice, which has had the bran and germ removed. This means that brown, black, red, and wild rice are all varieties of rice that are not refined, offering superior nutritional value including more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
