Abstract: A peeler blade (102) of a peeler (101) is made to swing such as to come into contact with and separate from a virtual axial line of a peeler shaft (111) by a tension state of an urging member (148) being adjusted based on a rotation angle difference between the peeler shaft (111) and a center shaft (141). Peeling is performed from an upper portion side of a fruit or vegetable that is supported by a fruit and vegetable holder (161), on a counter-peeler driving section arrangement side in relation to a virtual axial line of the fruit and vegetable holder (161). The peeling device is made for, for example, peeling a fruit or vegetable having hard skin such as a pineapple.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a blade portion 41 is formed by a plurality of blades 42 being arrayed on a front surface of a main body at an even interval while forming blade striation portions 43 between adjacent blades 42. Each blade 42 is cut into a circular-arc shape. A pitch between the blades 42 is in a range of 1 to 3 mm. A recess-portion apex composed of a cut surface of each blade 42 has a rounded shape with a radius of 1.0 to 3.0 mm. A protrusion-portion apex of the blade striation portion 43 has a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. A tip of the blade 42 formed by the blade striation portion 43 has a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
