Celery result backend stores a encoded string in result column

After I run an async task 

tasks.add.apply_async( (10, 10))

I checked the result backends database table celery_taskmeta and noticed the result containing something like gAJLBC4=

I couldn't find in the docs what that result implies and whether I can store the actual result of the function call ( ie, the return value ) in the table as is.

For this instance where I am executing a task which adds two numbers : 10 and 10 , the result column in celery_taskmeta should have 20 as per my understanding ( which is probably wrong ) .

How should I achieve that ?

I'm assuming that result is also serialized? I'm using a redis broker and not clear which configuration I need to set to be able to retrieve the actual return value.

the best way to get the result is not to query the database directly and instead to use the result api

result = tasks.add.apply_async( (10, 10))
result.ready
> True
result.result
> 20
