Here are two phrases from the text, both giving advice.
1 Seguramente sabrás que en primavera deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas. NO ARTICLE
2 Si fuera tú, pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc. ARTICLES.
In answering a previous question about articles, Sylvia wrote:
In summary, the choice of using or not using the definite article depends on the linguistic function of the phrase within the sentence, whether it denotes a specific entity (requiring the article) or describes a general quality or manner (where the article may be omitted).
Am I correct that the use of 'como' in phrase 2 triggers a specific entity and thus the article?
Gracias
