A peeler blade () of a peeler () is made to swing such as to come into contact with and separate from a virtual axial line of a peeler shaft () by a tension state of an urging member () being adjusted based on a rotation angle difference between the peeler shaft () and a center shaft (). Peeling is performed from an upper portion side of a fruit or vegetable that is supported by a fruit and vegetable holder (), on a counter-peeler driving section arrangement side in relation to a virtual axial line of the fruit and vegetable holder (). The peeling device is made for, for example, peeling a fruit or vegetable having hard skin such as a pineapple.

In an exemplary embodiment, a blade portionis formed by a plurality of bladesbeing arrayed on a front surface of a main body at an even interval while forming blade striation portionsbetween adjacent blades. Each bladeis cut into a circular-arc shape. A pitch between the bladesis in a range of 1 to 3 mm. A recess-portion apex composed of a cut surface of each bladehas a rounded shape with a radius of 1.0 to 3.0 mm. A protrusion-portion apex of the blade striation portionhas a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. A tip of the bladeformed by the blade striation portionhas a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
