German term or phrase: Gurkengewürz
"Gurkengewürz (fertige Gewürzmischung zum Einlegen)"

This is from a recipe for pickling vegetables. I don't think "cucumber spice" is a common term or well-known product. Perhahps something like pickle spice or pickling spice, but I'm wondering if there is a specific name for this in English, or if the product is even something that is available in America (translating to American English). Does anyone know what the ingredients are in this Gurkengewürz? I may have to query the client on that, if the ready-made spice is not known in America.
