Keeping my Basil green and fresh is a dilemma for me. How do you keep yours looking fresh and prevent it from going dark so quickly?

I do grow it in the summer. But now I am purchasing through my Food Supplier. Why can grocery stores keep it in their coolers for days on end? I appears that once I wash my Basil it goes bad rather quickly. So frustrating to say the least!

I have had good luck keeping my fresh herbs in a cooler or in a cardboard box to keep the herbs from getting too cold in the walk-in. Also, not taking my produce in and out of the fridge... Cold produce comes out, moisture forms on it, produce goes back in the walk-in, that condensation causes produce to rot faster.
Hope this helps.
