Most stevia is processed. It's "from a plant" in the same way that aspirin is "from tree bark". Sure, it started there, but that's not where it's ended up.
There is whole leaf stevia that is literally just dried leaves, but that's not the stevia in use almost everywhere because it's the least desirable in terms of taste - its less sweet than the granulated direct sugar substitute and adds extra leafy flavors.
When I hear "It's from a plant" my first question might be "Like a manufacturing plant?"

I have just used stevia leaves- But I don't eat a lot of sweet things anyway
