A fruit processing apparatus includes an accommodating portion (6, 10b) for accommodating a fruit (M) to be processed, a separating portion (3) for separating the fruit into a flesh portion and a seed portion when the fruit moves through the separating portion, a pressing portion (9) that presses the fruit accommodated in the accommodating portion into the separating portion and moves the fruit through the separating portion, and determination means (11, 12) used to determine whether the arrangement of a seed (M1) of the fruit accommodated in the accommodating portion is appropriate for permitting the fruit to move through the separating portion.
