Tithing produce that was bought from a gentile

Question

Do I have to tithe (take out trumah, maaser, etc.) produce that I bought from a gentile?

Answer

Yes, you do have to tithe, but without saying a blessing on it. You have no idea where the gentile procured this produce. Maybe it used to belong to a Jew!
