In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known skin removal from food art, the present disclosure provides a novel vegetable skin removal system. It is provided a garlic clove peeler comprising a housing formed with a clove receiving compartment formed with a friction wall and a complimentary peeling element formed with a peeler surface extending adjacent the friction wall and a displacement mechanism for displacing one or both of the friction wall and the peeling element. The described garlic peeler includes an appliance for peeling certain fruits and vegetables having a fine skin, and especially garlic, without abrading or breaking the garlic clove and without beating and scratching it, thus avoiding or minimizing damage to the garlic clove, so as to avoid or reduce dispersion of the typical garlic smell and to retain aesthetics and nutritive values thereof. 2008/0072772 to Simon Haimoff and Ofer Haimov relates to a garlic peeler. Therefore a suitable solution is desired. However, most such devices may often damage (e.g., crush, bruise, scrape, etc.) the vegetable such that the whole vegetable is not maintained. Some devices, including a vegetable press, may be available to aid a user in removing the skin prior to use. Therefore it is desirable to remove vegetable skin just prior to the use of the vegetable. However, such processing generally reduces the usable life of the vegetable. In some instances, vegetables may be available for purchase in a processed form, where the skin is removed at a processing facility. Methods for removing the skin include smashing and peeling the skin away, or driving the vegetable through a press to remove the skin. The skin is almost always discarded during the preparation for most uses. Garlic for example has a skin (garlic sheath) which covers each clove and root cluster. The inedible components of the garlic plant (or other vegetables) may include a skin covering.
