Dehydrated cashews are definitely not going to sprout...

  No, but soaking is going to break down chemicals like phytic acid that lock up nutrients.

    Looking at the literature, it appears there have been two studies on whether soaking nuts reduces phytic acid. Neither found an effect. Simply soaking whole nuts doesn't appear to do anything.

    huge gains to be had in that gram of overpriced nuts, surely

    That sounds like a very Huberman-like statement. Is there any literature that shows this not only to be true, but to be effective enough to make even a minute change in your health outcomes? Regardless, I'm going to continue enjoying my store brand whole cashews and leave Alex's shriveled nuts soaked in pH-balanced super-water to someone else.
