Depends on the rice. Whole grain or brown rice are more complex than white rice.
Whole grains contain the whole grain kernel (made up of the bran, germ, and angiosperm) instead of having these nutrients stripped off. For example, brown rice is whole grain, and white rice is refined. They are the same type of rice, but white rice has had the outer layers, along with all the nutrients, scraped off.
