Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -“Brown” rice is the typical whole grain rice, though this describes not a particular variety but the natural color of the grain. However, whole grain rice is not limited to one color-it also comes in shades of black, purple, and red.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is a Serving of Whole Grain? The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines a grain serving as a grain product containing at least 16 grams of flour. To be a whole-grain serving, the product you eat has to have at least 16 grams of a whole grain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Whole grains have the entire grain kernel, which includes the bran, germ, and endosperm. Some whole-grain examples are whole-wheat flour, bulgur (cracked wheat), oatmeal, and brown rice. Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ.

Detailed explanation-4: -Brown rice is a whole grain rice with the inedible outer hull removed. This kind of rice sheds its outer hull or husk but the bran and germ layer remain on, constituting the brown or tan colour of rice. White rice is the same grain without the hull, the bran layer, and the cereal germ.
