Answer:
Every rice starts it's life as a whole grain. But if you want to use only whole grain foods, you need to find whole grain Jasmine rice. Most of what is sold is polished (or white) Jasmine. You would probably find it in specialty organic or whole food supermarkets. If it says 'polished' then it's white.
In my opinion for 'everyday' eating, go for whole grain. But for 'occasional' eating, there is no harm in using white rice, Aborio for example. Brown rice risotto just doesn't work for me, the texture is all wrong. There is not a lot more nutrition in rice with the bran on, but there is a lot more fibre (1-2g). So if fibre or weight loss are an issue, don't eat anything white. If you aren't watching your weight and are generally eating a lot of fruit and veggies, then the odd meal of white rice won't harm you!
I hope that helps, :)
