Hello and welcome.
In most cases, what you eat decides how your stools are. If at all you are having only organic vegetables ever since your stools have been this way, then you could try to change what you have been eating and then observe how your stool changes.If there is a change then it was in fact the vegetables, but if not then you should visit either your physician or a gastroenterologist to rule out conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis, etc.
Best wishes
