This is hand down the best way to keep your basil fresh after pruning your herb path or buying it from the grocery store. The other method I know about is storing it like salad greens. It involves plucking the leaves and laying them in a layer on a damp kitchen towel then rolling the kitchen towel over and storing it in the fridge. The first method may be inconvenient and take up alot of space but it's the most efficient.
