A peeling device comprising: a fruit and vegetable supporting section in which a fruit and vegetable holder that supports a fruit or vegetable to be peeled is arranged such as to freely rotate by driving of a fruit and vegetable rotation motor; a peeler driving section that includes a peeler shaft that moves a peeler along an outer periphery of the fruit or vegetable that is supported by the fruit and vegetable holder by driving of a peeler rotation motor, and a center shaft that is inserted into the peeler shaft and arranged coaxially with the peeler shaft, in which a tip flange plate that is provided on one end that faces further towards the fruit and vegetable supporting section side than the peeler shaft is provided with an urging member between the center shaft and the peeler, and the center shaft rotates by driving of a shaft rotation motor; a control unit that controls driving of the fruit and vegetable rotation motor, the peeler rotation motor, and the shaft rotation motor, and a peeler blade is made to swing such as to come into contact with and separate from a virtual axial line of the peeler shaft by a tension state of the urging member being adjusted based on a rotation angle difference between the peeler shaft and the center shaft, and peeling is performed from an upper portion side of the fruit or vegetable that is supported by the fruit and vegetable holder, on a counter-peeling driving section arrangement side in relation to a virtual axial line of the fruit and vegetable holder, in the peeler, a pair of peeler arms that support the peeler blade and have an arm-like shape are swingably connected by a pair of hinges to a peeler attachment plate that is arranged in the peeler shaft, characterized in that the peeler driving section includes a tilt restricting means that is capable of restricting tilting of the peeler during non-contact with the fruit or vegetable, and the tilt restricting means is composed of a tilt restricting section that is provided in the peeler and a cam section of the tip flange plate that is capable of engaging with the tilt restricting section and, when the peeler shaft and the center shaft are rotated in a state in which the tilt restricting section and the cam section are engaged, and the peeler blade moves above a peeling start position on the fruit or vegetable that is supported by the fruit and vegetable holder, the peeler driving section rotates only the center shaft, cancels the engagement between the tilt restricting section and the cam section, and makes the peeler blade of the peeler approach the virtual axial line of the peeler shaft by the urging member. a fruit and vegetable supporting section in which a fruit and vegetable holder that supports a fruit or vegetable to be peeled is arranged such as to freely rotate by driving of a fruit and vegetable rotation motor;
