There are literally hundreds of different varieties of rice and people may group several of these varieties by characteristics. We sometimes say white rice, brown rice or wild rice to identify what the rice characteristics but these are not necessarily varieties. Varietiesincludedifferent types of rice such as Jasmine, Basmati,Risotto, Louisiana, Carolina, Della and para rice -- just to name a few.

Having said this, technically, wild rice is not a rice but a grain. It is the grain of a reed-likeaquaticplant (Zizania aquatica).

Brown rice is a whole grain rice that is produced by removing only the outermost layer of the rice kernel, whereas wild rice is not actually a type of rice but a seed of aquatic grass. Wild rice has a chewier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to brown rice. Additionally, wild rice has more protein and fiber content than brown rice.
